Because Tallgrass is raising cows which graze freely on open pastures and eat naturally-occuring grasses, we're not only producing beef that's good for you, but we're also also fostering an agricultural process that benefits the animals, the land, and the farmers. In turn, it's helping to restore the Great American Prairie. It's a time-honored practice that goes back to when cattle first roamed free and sustained natural crops of lush grasses with their continual grazing.
