Healthy animals that are raised on pasture produce healthier meat:

- Higher in Omega-3 fatty acids; Lower in Omega-6 fatty acids
      (Eating food that has more Omega-3's and less Omega-6's is linked with a lower risk of a host of disorders, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression, Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit disorder (hyperactivity), and inflammatory disease)

- Higher in protein; Lower in total fat and calories

- Lower in the saturated fats linked with heart disease

- Higher in beta-carotene

- Higher in vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol)

- Higher in B-vitamins thiamin and riboflavin

- Higher in the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium

- Pastured animals living in a healthy outdoor environment do not need antibiotics and therefore do not harbor dangerous drug-resistant bacteria.
