OutlineOutline
• Insight on beef production
• Different choices of beef
• Beef’s nutrient content
• Can beef’s nutrient profile be changed?

Beef Production is a Family BusinessBeef Production is a Family Business
• More than 800,000 beef producers in the U.S.– Average herd size of 43 head of cattle
• 80 % of beef operations have been in the same family for > 25 years
• 10% have been in the same family for >100 years

Beef Producers are Committed to:Beef Producers are Committed to:
• Safe and Wholesome Beef
• Sound Management Practices
• Taking Care of the Land and Cattle

Many Choices, One CommitmentMany Choices, One Commitment
• Natural
• Certified Organic
• Grass-finished
• Grain-fed

Grain-FedGrain-Fed
• High-energy grain diets– Growth and lean muscle– Primarily corn based– Vitamins and minerals– Nutritionally balanced
8
Grass-fedGrass-fed
“Grass (annual and perennial), forbs (legumes, brassicas) browse, forage, or stockpiled forages, and post-harvest crop residue without separated grain shall be at least 99 % of the energy source for the lifetime of the ruminant specie, with the exception of milk consumed prior to weaning”.
(USDA-AMS, 2006)

NaturalNatural “Minimally processed containing no “Minimally processed containing no additives” additives” ((USDA-FSIS, 1999)USDA-FSIS, 1999)
• USDA’s definition of Natural has no relation to animal production– Most all fresh beef is “Natural” by this definition
• Beef labeled as Natural typically refers to cattle raised without growth promotants or antibiotics– USDA reviews and approves these labels on a case-by-case basis

OrganicOrganic
Organic Food Production Act, Oct 2002• 100% organic feed
– Vitamins and minerals are permitted
• No growth promotants and antibiotics• 3 yrs to qualify for “USDA Certified
Organic”
