Real Grass-fed Montana Beef:

A Nutritional Powerhouse for Healthy Living

Montana's grass-fed beef provides exceptional nutrition that supports your family's health goals.

  • 10 essential nutrients including B-vitamins, iron, and zinc

  • Natural marbling provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, the same beneficial fats found in olive oil.
