WHAT IS SA GRAINFED BEEF?
 
The SA GRAINFED BEEF trademark is registered for the sole use of the members of the SA Feedlot Association in South Africa and its neighbouring countries.
 
The higher growth rate of carcase animals results in a much more tender meat than that of animals which follow a grass-fed diet pattern.  The reason being that meat tissue known to cause toughness is reduced in animals with a faster gain.  This was one of the facts to emerge from the National Beef Tenderness Conference held in Denver, USA in 1992.
 
SA GRAINFED BEEF originates from specially selected animals fed only a nutritious diet of the highest quality grain products for a specific period.  The carcases are specifically selected according to strict criteria before qualifying for the SA Grainfed mark.  These criteria include the age of the animals,as well as the time they are cared for and other criteria which could have a negative impact on the consistency of meat quality and safety.
 
SA GRAINFED BEEF is lean, tender young beef selected according to the strictest A Grade age specifications with a specified fat coverage over the whole carcase to ensure the ultimate eating experience.  Technically speaking, this means that animals are selected for their lean meat attributes from beef breeds known to produce tender beef.  Management practises are in line with guidelines to ensure no undue stress or excitement known to impact eating quality.
 
SA GRAINFED BEEF originates from abattoirs maintaining high standards of hygiene and classification.  The trademark aims to distinguish South African Grainfed beef of consistently high quality from ordinary grass-fed beef and imported beef of dubious origin and quality.
 
Americans consume beef with an average fat content of 30 - 35%.  In South Africa, there is as little as 13% fat.  Marbling in US beef could reach 10%.  SA Grainfed Beef has just over 1%.  This means there is no fat to trim.  The animals are fed specifically to provide lean meat.
