| Nutritional advantages of grass fed Texas Longhorn Beef Experts explain why Texas Longhorn Beef is heart healthy Dr. Joseph Graham, who is a heart surgeon at St. John's Medical Center in Joplin, MO. says that, "Longhorn meat on the average, contains 10% less saturated fat than that of other cattle. That puts the lean Texas Longhorn on a par with skinned boneless white meat of chickens and that fact may come as a surprise to many dieticians." Clifford Sheats, a nationally acclaimed and certified clinical nutritionist, says that red meat has many nutrients including, protein, iron, and vitamin B-12. He says the Texas Longhorn beef is the healthiest red meat. Sheats notes that Longhorn beef is "definitely a heart healthy food." www.tlbaa.org Grass fed Texas Longhorn meat is richer in certain "good fats" than feedlot beef. Omega-3 The Omega-3 fatty acids are fundamental molecules in the structure and activity in every cell throughout the human body. Because of their role in cell membranes, Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to tissue formation, and vital in promoting growth and development. They have special functions in the brain and retina. "Since their discovery in the 1970s, the Omega-3 essential fatty acids have generated thousands of studies and clinical trials. Essential to life and good health, they protect against disease and can treat illness." www.Omega-3info.com Beta-Carotene A Natural antioxidant, immune system booster, and helps reduce the chance heart disease and cancer. Your body turns Beta-Carotene into vitamin A. Grass fed beef has more Beta-Carotene than cows sent to a feed lot. www.wholehealthymd.com Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) CLA is proven to increase metabolic rate, reduce abdominal fat, enhance muscle growth, and boost the immune system.

The Texas Longhorn has a 500 year heritage in America, and is the foundation of American cattle. In 1492,
Christopher Columbus brought Spanish cattle to Santa Domingo, and 200 years later their descendants were grazing
the fields of Mexico. In 1690, the first herd of only about 200 head was driven North to Sabine River in Texas. Many
ranchers would not survive the harsh frontier elements, but the Texas Longhorn did. When soldiers returned to Texas
after the Civil War, they found abandoned ranches and unplowed fields.
The Texas Longhorn, groomed by mother nature, is able to find food, fight off predators, swim across rivers, go on
long drives without water, and survive the extreme heat and cold. In the following 25 year after the Civil War, 10
million wild Texas Longhorns were trailed north to be fattened up in the lush fields of the Midwest, and sold for steaks.
It only took about 40 years to drive the Longhorns closer to extinction than the Buffalo. In the early 1900's the federal
government helped to preserve the Texas Longhorn by setting aside wildlife refuges for them.
In 1964, only 1,500 Texas Longhorns existed; owned by private ranchers, circuses, zoos, and wildlife parks. Now the
Texas Longhorn has entered a Renaissance age thanks to private breeders and organizations such as the Texas
Longhorn Breeders association of America. For a more in depth summary concerning the history of the Texas

| The Difference between Grass fed and Feedlot |
| Grass-Fed We treat our Texas Longhorn cows like pets, where they live a peaceful and tranquil life. They are able graze, drink fresh water, and find shade as they please. |
| Feedlot Cattle at feedlots are often sprayed with water to help them keep cool in the summer. Notice they are without shade. Who wants to support those responsible for treating cattle like this? Who wants to eat meat that comes from a place like this? |
