Why We Finish Retail Beef With Non-GMO Grain Finishing matters because it affects the final eating experience. Marbling, the small flecks of fat within the muscle, plays an important role in beef flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. University extension resources note that grain-fed beef typically has more marbling, while grass-fed beef is generally leaner with less overall fat and marbling.

At Big Horn Mountain Farms, our cattle and hogs are pasture-raised and finished with non-genetically modified feed. They are raised without antibiotics or hormones.
