Meat Shoppers: Don't Be Fooled By The Buzz-Words
How to choose real healthy food over feel-good labeling.
People eat everyday, but not everyone, especially the younger generations, understand how the food they eat is produced.
Walk into just about any grocery store today, and you’ll definitely find lots of meat products labeled with fancy words like “Grass-Fed”, “Grass-Fed & Finished”, and “Pasture-Raised.” Yet have you ever thought about if the product behind those labels really lives up to its claims?
When seeing those words, we often picture animals leisurely grazing on beautiful, open pastures.
Yet as it turns out, “Grass-Fed” does not necessarily mean that the animal is always free-grazing; feeding grass pellets in a feedlot before processing can still be called “Grass-Finished”; “Pasture-Raised” can mean only a portion of the animals spending just a little bit time per day on a tiny open area, and has nothing to do with what the animals actual eats.
In our humble opinions, the best way to ensure you’re getting the best meat possible with all those “buzz-words” actually mean something healthy for you and our planet, is to support local farms and ranches and learn from the farm owners directly regarding their agricultural practices.
I encourage you to read more on how we, The Dancing Yak Ranch, raise our animals from this link on our website. So that when you decide to buy our yak meat share this spring, you will gain peace-of-mind that our animals are:
No grains
No vaccinations
No antibiotics
No dewormers
No hormones
Instead, they free-graze, drink clean water, build deep connections with humans, and have great lives with low stress.
In 2026, we only plan to sell yak meat shares from two yaks reaching three years old out of the total ten yaks we currently have on the ranch, and both of them are also the “meaner” ones of the herd, too! 😅
The order link is now live on our website. Please support Colorado local micro ranch like ours and support US-raised meat!
Thank you!
