Texas Longhorn Grass Fed beef available right here in Copper


TEXAS LONGHORN GRASS FED BEEF

                               
For the health-conscious consumer, there is no reason to avoid tender, juicy steaks. Texas Longhorn beef has less calories, less fat and less cholesterol than chicken. For each 3.5 oz. serving (about the size of a deck of cards), Texas Longhorn beef has 114 calories, 3.7 gms. of fat (mostly unsaturated fat) and 48.0 mgs. of cholesterol, compared to 173 calories, 30.0 gms. of fat and 85.7 mgs. of cholesterol for chicken. Also, recent studies have shown that yield/grade, reflecting the leanness of meat, was a full grade better then that of Hereford or Angus cattle because of the greater levels of polyunsaturated fat in Texas Longhorn muscle tissue. Comparisons of the nutritional values of Texas Longhorn cattle have shown that the meat is low in fat, cholesterol and calories and high in protein and nutrients. Texas Longhorn meat will fit into the Federal Government's Dietary Recommendations for a low fat diet. Not to mention, that Texas Longhorn beef tastes great!! It is just naturally flavorful and tastes great by itself or to enhance your favorite recipe. We care about the cattle that we raise and never use artificial growth hormones or stimulants, steroids or antibiotics.
