Our pasture-raised beef is lower in polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids and saturated fats than feedlot beef. With an average of 9.5% fat, our beef is lean and very valuable for any carnivore. It is a rich source of iron and, therefore, a good food for building blood. Beef is a popular rotational food for animals that are not intolerant to it.
Beef patties contain the whole animal except the heads, hides, bladder and large intestine (manure), hooves, and horns (if any). We do not use non-edible bones as these would not be consumed in nature due to their density. Organs comprise approximately 8 to 10 % of the patties, including lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, and tongue. The omasum from beef is saved for our green tripe patties. On average over all our proteins, patties are composed of 66% muscle meat, 7% bone, 10% organs, 7% blood, and 10% fat. We DO NOT add anything to our foods. You may supplement as needed. Please visit our healthcare and supplement pages.
When hydrated, the freeze-dried patties have the same nutritional qualities as our frozen Pixies. This is why we display the nutrition facts as such on the backs of the bags.
