Maleny Black Angus Beef

  At  Maleny Black Angus Beef , we think about these sorts of things all the time because it’s at the heart of our farming operation. Unfortunately the challenge is getting this message to people who haven’t thought about it before, or aren’t that concerned, and who continue to buy their meat (and other food) from supermarkets. When we talk about sustainable farming, to us its simple. There are no hormones, no antibiotics or unnatural ingredients used in our farming practices. That’s quite a few ‘no’s’. We don’t farm like this because we’re trying to be ‘Green’ or because we’re hillbillies (though some might call us alternate and we wouldn’t be offended. We’re definitely happy being a bit ‘different’). We simply believe this approach is best for our land and our cattle, and by default the environment and our customers benefit. It’s so simple.

When we think about beef we tend to think of cows grazing in lush green fields contentedly munching on rich pastures. In reality, much of the beef we eat has spent its life in a feedlot being fed grains such as corn, and increasingly science is showing that these grain fed cattle is a poor imitation of grass fed. All these benefits come before we even look at the environmental impact. Nutrition Surely all beef is just beef? Well there is some truth in the statement that you are what you eat. Both for us and animals. Cows have had millions of years of evolution to ensure that they get a full range of nutrients from the huge variety of grass and weeds that a healthy pasture will contain. Compare this to the monoculture of grains that grain fed cattle are commonly fed and you can see why many people think grass fed is the best way to raise beef and dairy cattle. Studies have shown that there are measurable differences between grass fed and grain fed beef, most noticeably in the fatty acid...
