A product can be labeled as grass-fed if the cattle were simply fed grass pellets in a feedlot-style production model, or if they were grazing on monoculture grasses. This type of production, even though it is labeled as grass-fed, does not result in the same phytochemical richness or favorable fatty acid profiles as the diverse pasture system does. The grass pellet or monoculture grass system will produce meat and milk similar in nutritional quality to those of a grain-fed system.
