How does Tallgrass Beef guard against “mad cow disease” (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE)?

Tallgrass Beef cattle are never given feed containing animal by-products, which is the primary source of BSE transmission. Our cattle eat only grass for their entire lives. We also monitor all our cattle very closely and never process any animal that is sick or injured. And, because grass-fed cattle take longer to develop than grain-fed cattle (who are often given hormones to speed their growth), we are able to monitor our cattle longer to detect any anomaly. Finally, we use DNA TraceBack, from IdentiGEN to provide a reliable and accurate traceability system for every cut of our beef. Every steak, roast and pound of ground beef can be traced back to the family farm or ranch where the animals were raised. As a company, this allows us to provide the highest possible quality assurance regarding our products and to stand behind every piece of meat.
