 ENERGY
FOR YOUR BUSY LIFESTYLE
The snack products of Tall Grass Buffalo are convenient for
hikers, bikers, backpackers, hunters, fisherman, farmers and
ranchers, and basically all people who want a handy,
healthy, nutritious snack. With these products they will
receive the protein they need to maintain an energy level
which they may find lacking from energy bars or other highly
processed snack meat products (Mintel International
Group Ltd.).
THE IMPORTANCE OF OMEGA-3s
Meat from grass-fed animals has two to four times more
omega-3 fatty acids than meat from grain- fed animals.
Omega-3s are called "good fats" because they play a vital
role in every cell and system in your body. For example, of
all the fats, they are the most heart-friendly. People who
have ample amounts of omega-3s in their diet are less likely
to have high blood pressure or an irregular heartbeat.
Remarkably, they are 50 percent less likely to suffer a
heart attack.
 GRASSFED
BISION — THE ORIGINAL "HAPPY MEAL?"
Martin Marchello at the Carrington Research Extension Center
has found that grassfed bison have as much as four times
more selenium (an essential trace mineral) than grainfed
bison. Eating just three ounces of grassfed bison, for
example, can give you over 100 mcg. of selenium, which is
several times the daily minimum requirement.
Most of the selenium research has focused on its potential
to reduce the risk of cancer, but a 1990 study found that
selenium also promotes a sunnier disposition! In this study,
volunteers were given either 100 micrograms of selenium or a
sugar pill. Those who were given the selenium noticed an
improved mood in just two weeks. Eating a small portion of
grassfed bison on a daily basis should produce the same
results.

improves mood in a double-blind crossover trial."

TO FURTHER THE CASE FOR CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA)
Tall Grass Buffalo Products are all from pasture raised
South Dakota buffalo, and the benefits are staggering. A
healthier balance, of Omega 3’s to Omega 6’s, conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA), lower in fat and calories, 300% more
Vitamin E. 400% more Vitamin A, 78% more Beta-carotene
(Dr. Tilak Dhiman, Utah State University). Along with
Vitamins E and C, Beta-carotene may arrest the progression
of macular degeneration (Dr. Paul Donohue, Orlando, FL).
To further the case for CLA, studies support that CLA is: 1.
Anti-carcinogenic. 2. Reduces body fat and helps prevent
obesity. 3. Anti-diabetic. 4. Anti-atherosclerosis (heart
disease) (Dr. Tilak Dhiman, Utah State University and
from articles quoted in “Pastured Perfect” by Jo Robinson
“Farm Fresh” and “Grass fed to Finish” by Allen Nation, and
articles in the “New York Times” by Michael Pollen).
The medical profession is acknowledging the health benefit
of pasture raised/grass-fed meats as reported in a recent
article in the Rapid City Journal, March 20, 2006, reprinted
from a Washington Post entry by Candy Sagon. These health
benefits are also covered at length in an up-coming book
release entitled “Dakota Diet” by Dr. Kevin Wieland.

HEALTH
CONSCIOUS CONSUMERS
We
have received a great response from the health conscious
consumer and the growing numbers who are concerned with the
source (who, where, how), and quality of their food supply.
This is particularly relevant with concern over volatility
in world events, our dangerous and badly regulated borders,
national security, terrorism, a seemingly indifferent and
ineffective government, E-coli, the massive recalls of meats
from large corporate slaughter houses, bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, and its human
counterpart Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which is always
fatal. It should be noted that the USDA (United States
Department of Agriculture) is planning to reduce further the
number of animals tested for mad cow disease. Currently the
department tests less than one percent of the animals
annually slaughtered (Farm Forum, March 31, 2006).
 NATURALLY
NUTRITIOUS
Tall Grass Buffalo products
are a healthy meat alternative. The grass-fed buffalo
contains no artificial hormones, no antibiotics, and no
steroids. It is lower in fat and cholesterol than beef, and
contains a healthy balance of essential fatty acids (Omega-3
and Omega-6). It is also an important source of iron and CLA
(Conjugated Linoleic Acid), an enzyme that prevents cancer
and heart disease. Furthermore, most people with allergies
to other meats have found no allergies to buffalo meat. The
buffalo are raised as nature intended; ranging free, eating
only native grasses, with little human interference.
