La Cense Beef and Moonlight Basin Announce An Exciting New Partnership
Local Montana Producer La Cense Beef Selected by Moonlight Basin to Supply USDA Certified 100% All Natural Grass Fed Beef
Dillon, MT (PRWEB) December 9, 2010
La Cense Beef (“La Cense”), the leader in the grass fed beef industry and the only USDA Certified grass fed beef producer, is excited to announce an exciting new partnership with Moonlight Basin during the 2010 – 2011 Ski Season. Moonlight Basin will be serving exclusively La Cense Beef 100% All Natural Black Angus Steakburgers, Beef Frankfurters, Polish Kielbasa, and Rancher’s Chili at the Headwaters Grill.
Moonlight Basin (http://www. moonlightbasin. com) selected La Cense Beef (http://www. lacensebeef. com) as its grass fed beef provider given its exemplary grass fed production practices, the proximity of the local Montana-based La Cense Ranch, their desire to provide patrons with healthy food from local sources, and their shared concern for the environment.
“Moonlight Basin prides itself on working with local companies who share our passion for quality products and environmental stewardship. La Cense was a natural fit for us with their 100% grass fed beef and sustainable ranching practices. We knew when we sampled the product it was delicious, and after we visited the ranch we found out why. Their commitment to quality and compassion for their cattle is absolutely amazing,” said Greg Pack, General Manager of Moonlight Basin.
La Cense Beef is a pioneer in the grass fed beef industry. The first and only beef producer to receive the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) “Grass Fed Beef” certification, La Cense successfully endured a rigorous auditing process by third-party Verified Beef. The process included reviewing all ranching practices, its structure and management, training of employees, the inspection of all feeds, records and labels and the administration of all foods and drugs. The audit confirms La Cense cattle to be truly 100 percent grass fed, never exposed to antibiotics, animal by-products or growth promotants, never treated with hormones, and source and age verified. It is only with source and age verification that consumers can be assured that they know what they are buying and can trust specific marketing claims.
Grass fed beef has been recognized to be the best beef option for human health, the animal and the environment. According to numerous studies, grass fed beef is shown to be lower in total fat and calories than grain fed conventional beef. The higher Beta Carotene level in grass fed beef is helpful in reducing the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Grass fed beef is also higher in Omega-3 fatty acids essential for enhancing heart health and reducing the risk of arthritis, obesity, insulin resistance, allergies and autoimmune diseases.
La Cense Beef’s sustainable ranching management and practices used to raise grass fed cows also help keep cattle, air, land, and water healthy, and lower the carbon footprint. This is in direct contrast to industrial grain-based feedlot operations that foul the environment, expose cattle to inhumane conditions, require intensive consumption of fossil fuels and produce higher levels of environmental pollutants.
“We are delighted to team up with Moonlight Basin to bring their resort’s patrons grass fed beef. La Cense Beef is proud to support Moonlight Basin’s commitment to providing its customers with a more healthful beef that brings the confidence in quality and process that only La Cense can offer. We are also thrilled that together we can bring very local product to Moonlight Basin guests,” said La Cense founder and owner William Kriegel.
