Is your tallow 100% grass-fed?Updated 22 days ago
While we can’t fully guarantee the cows are never fed supplementary feed such as hay, silage (pasture grass preserved through natural fermentation), or crop residue from home farms (arguably one of the most regenerative systems available, thanks to the cows’ ability to upcycle), we can guarantee they are never fed soya or GMO crops.
Unlike many other farming systems, organic cows spend much of their lives outdoors, grazing naturally on a diet of grass and clover.
By law, cows must be out at pasture whenever conditions allow, over 200 days on average. ‘Zero-grazing’, where cows are kept indoors and fed cut grass or other feeds like soya, is banned under organic standards.
If they need to go indoors because of bad weather, cows must be housed in well-bedded, spacious yards.
Organic cows eat mainly grass. Organic standards require a minimum of 60% forage in their diets.
As organic dairy cows aren’t given the same concentrated feed as many non-organic cows, they tend to have much better health and welfare.
