Bacon

Bacon has been in the news a lot this past week!  Media is warning us that bacon (and pop) will likely kill us.  As always, it is important to understand where your bacon comes from, how it is raised and how it is processed. Here at the Grass Fed Cattle Co we work hard to give you the very best and safest in pastured pork.  Our pork is free of hormones, antibiotics, nitrates and MSG.  These happy pigs spend life outdoors enjoying the sunshine.

Dr. Mercola wrote a fascinating article about this way back in 2013. One take away is this - "bacon fat from pastured pigs also comes replete with fat-soluble vitamin D, provided it's bacon from foraging pigs that romp outdoors in the sun for most of year. Factory-farmed pigs kept indoors and fed rations from soy, casein, corn meal, and other grains, are likely to show low levels of Vitamin D."  To read more click here.
