Why Grass-Fed?
Grass-fed meat contains high levels of omega 3 and CLA acid that are associated with health benefits with anti-carcinogenic properties. It is low in fat, natural fats are developed to give that tasty flavor without having to overfeed the livestock.
​
The ecological footprint left by grass-fed livestock farming is extremely low compared to traditional techniques. We reduce methane emissions by not having animals in confinement, we improve the quality of the land and pastures with rotation on our properties. Our lands and pastures reduce the effect of greenhouse gases by retaining carbon dioxide.

CaboRojo Steaks is one of the promoters of the “GrassFed PR” initiative, together with the University of Puerto Rico, the Department of Agriculture, under the guidance of the USDA.
