When it comes to fueling your adventures, every bit of goodness helps. For us, it starts with pasture.

As you probably know from your own adventures, it’s the simple pleasures that make the journey truly rewarding. Whether it’s the cozy places we stay or the tasty food we eat, a little quality goes a long way in creating great memories.

Grain-fed and grass-fed cows might start in the same fields, but their culinary destinies take very different paths. It all comes down to what’s on the menu—natural grasses and perennials or those unnatural grains and fatteners.

Sure, there’s a case to be made for ethical grain-finishing operations, but we prefer the old-school approach. Our Albertan Wagyu cattle roam free on local lands, just like they’ve been doing since 1940. If it ain’t broke, why fix it?

To understand why our protein bars boast 100% grass-fed Wagyu beef, let’s dive into the tasty details of how these two ranching methods differ (and why we think natural is the way to go for fueling your adventures).

It’s All About the Flavour!

No matter how you slice it, fat is flavor. But getting that perfect fat into your steaks starts with what the cattle eat.

While taste is subjective, many folks find that traditional grocery store beef flavor offers an experience like listening to elevator music—pretty bland and forgettable. Grass-fed beef, on the other hand, hits you with a burst of earthy goodness, making every bite a flavor adventure!

Plus, the aroma and appearance of grass-fed beef often steal the show compared to the greasier grain-fed cuts.

Pssst… want to taste the difference yourself? Try one of our Wagyu beef bar variety packs—it’s the best way to experience the unique flavors of our high-quality beef and how they interact with different spices!

Get to Know Our Pasture

Southern Alberta is a postcard come to life with its sprawling pastures. In our neck of the woods, grasses with strong, deep roots thrive by surviving brutally cold winters and tapping into deep water sources that annual weeds can only dream of. Our cows aren’t picky eaters, either—by letting them roam free on these vast pastures, they double as nature’s own weed and brush control team.

Healthy pastures do wonders for more than just our Wagyu beef bars. With quality feed available all summer, our mother cows produce top-notch milk, helping their calves grow strong and independent without ever setting hoof in a feedlot. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Grass-Fed Wagyu Snacks at Your Doorstep

So, what’s the beef with grass-fed and grain-fed? Imagine cows at an all-you-can-eat buffet: one side’s got a natural salad bar, and the other, a table of greasy fast food. Our cows choose the salad bar every time. For them, it’s the grass-fed life—healthier fats, happier hearts, and flavor that’ll knock your socks off! Give our Wagyu a try, and taste the pasture-raised difference. It’s no bull, just delicious beef!

Just because our cows are grass-fed doesn’t mean you have to be, too! Visit a local vendor or order online for Wagyu beef bars shipped fresh to your door. Contact Ranch IV Provisions to learn more about the benefits of pasture-raised cattle and why we choose to go natural!
