Grass-fed vs grain-fed beef

Grass-fed vs grain-fed beef

If you’re conscious about what you eat, you’ve probably heard the terms “grass-fed” and “grain-fed.” But what’s the real difference, and why does it matter when it comes to jerky?

Grass-fed beef comes from cattle that have grazed on pasture, just as nature intended. It’s leaner, richer in Omega-3 fatty acids, and has higher levels of antioxidants like vitamin E. Grain-fed beef, on the other hand, is typically fattened in feedlots and can contain more saturated fat and fewer nutrients.

At Billabong Jerky, we only use 100% Australian grass-fed beef, it’s healthier, more sustainable, and delivers a cleaner, bolder flavour. When you choose our jerky, you’re not just choosing taste, you’re choosing quality.
