Why do you source from Grass Fed cows?Updated 2 months ago

The way cows are fed affects the nutrient composition of the milk they produce. Grass is the natural diet of a cow, and it plays an integral role in helping to maintain a cow's gut health. Grain-fed cows are usually supplemented with a diet of corn, soy, cottonseed and so on. This is not a species-appropriate diet, and studies have shown it makes cattle more liable to suffer from bacterial contamination, causing illness and increasing the chance of the animal requiring antibiotic treatment. Grass-fed milk is richer in omega-3 fats, vitamin E, beta-carotene and beneficial fatty acids in comparison to milk produced from a grain-fed diet.
