Organic beef is strictly regulated by the USDA to ensure it doesn't have any chemicals, hormones, or other artificial components. However, those strict regulations don't quite account for a wide range of all-natural beef available from grass-only cattle ranches. La Cense raises all its cattle in the clean, pure Montana landscape, and only one small distinction differentiates this beef from USDA-certified organic beef.

La Cense cattle, if they become ill, may be treated with antibiotics to safeguard the animals' health. These antibiotics pass through the cow's system within 45 days, and no cattle is ever processed within that 45 day window, if it's been given antibiotics. As a result, all of La Cense Beef's cattle is 100 percent all natural, but you won't see a USDA organic label. The beef itself is processed at a USDA-certified facility and dry-aged for 19 days to lock in the rich, juicy flavor.

La Cense's grass-fed cattle also reduce the risk of BSE, or mad cow disease, because they are not fed with grain. Grain sometimes contains animal byproducts that can transmit mad cow disease. La Cense takes additional precautions by processing cattle at an age of 18 months or younger. BSE is known to incubate for at least three years. During processing, the beef is prepared by experienced butchers instead of mechanical stripping machines.

Organic beef keeps you and your family safe from the chemicals and pesticides that regular grain-fed cattle are exposed to. The La Cense herds don't even come into contact with other cattle, so you can be assured that your gourmet beef will be of organic quality and safe--not to mention delicious.
