Grass-Fed | Glossary

Grass-fed refers to animals that consume primarily grass and forage rather than grain. This feeding method can influence nutrient composition and fat profiles. Because the animal’s diet is based more closely on natural grazing behavior, the resulting meat often develops differently in texture, density, and overall composition compared to grain-fed sources. 

Seasonal forage, movement, and grazing patterns can also contribute to natural variation within the protein itself rather than creating a highly standardized product. For many pet owners, grass-fed sourcing represents a preference for ingredients shaped more by natural feeding conditions and less by intensive feeding systems.
