Cattleana Ranch Newsletter November 2008
It is had to believe that we are going into our 14th year of business at Cattleana Ranch. We thank you our customers for our growth. The increased growth, work, and age to our bodies, has made us think about how we can continue to produce high quality products for many years to come. We are talking with other Wisconsin sustainable, grass based farmers (many are also certified organic) to see how we can work together. The result this year is that we are able to offer you Certified Organic, Free Range Turkeys for your holiday season.

Did You Know?
Products from pastured animals are better for your health in a number of important ways. First of all, they are lower in total fat than the meat from animals fattened in a feedlot. For example, a sirloin steak from a grassfed steer has about one half to one third as much fat as a similar cut from a grainfed steer. In fact, grassfed meat has about the same fat content as skinless chicken or wild deer or elk. When meat is this lean, it actually lowers your LDLcholesterol levels.
If you eat a typical amount of beef (66.5 pounds a year), switching to grassfed beef will save you 17,733 calories a year—without requiring any willpower or change in eating habits. If everything else in your diet remains constant, you'll lose about six pounds a year. If all Americans switched to grassfed meat, our national epidemic of obesity might begin to diminish.
