Natural State Beef is Non-Beta Agonist
Beta agonists are a class of non-hormonal compounds fed to cattle. Their mode of action is to bind to receptors on fat cells in the animals' body and redirect and reduce the metabolism of fat. Consequently, less fat is produced and less fat is stored in the carcass. At the same time, the compounds bind to receptors on muscle cells and redirect and increase the size of muscle fibers. Muscle fiber size replaces some of the weight normally found from fat and the total carcass contains a higher percentage lean muscle. These actions reduce the energy supplied by the feed to produce weight gain. With more weight produced by the same level of feed intake feed efficiency is increased.
Increased feed-yard performance and carcass composition is consistently recognized from the use of [bet agonists].
However, there's universal concern about their effect on certain meat quality measures, especially tenderness, juiciness and flavor." - wwwextension.psu.edu

Consumers expect to find Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB), commonly referred to as "pink slime", in their hotdogs, Vienna Sausages, bologna and potted meat - but it is also found in most hamburger meat at the grocery store today. At Natural State Beef, we are proud that our product does not contain any LFTB. We only sell whole cow ground beef with no additional ingredients. Because we only process quality USDA whole cow, our beef has a delicious aroma and tastes incredible!
