Timber Ridge Cattle Co.

Flax seed with its high content of alpha linolenic acid has been called a modern miracle food. The pasture raised beef used in our 90% lean Timber Ridge snack sticks and summer sausages is not only hormone and antibiotic free but is hand-fed a flax seed ration. Samples of our beef were analyzed by Iowa State University and were found to contain 5 times more Omega-3 essential fatty acids and 25% less saturated fats than the corn-fed control sample. We chose the smoked meat process to deliver our high Omega-3 beef to the consumer because of its use of low heat. Exposure to high heat will convert healthy fats into unhealthy trans-fats. In addition, our beef sticks and summer sausage contain no MSG or sodium nitrite and have only 60 calories per stick. The product needs no refrigeration so it can be safely enjoyed while camping, traveling or in a packed lunch. Notable effects of Omega-3as in human diets include improved immunity, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and anti-inflammatory relief for rheumatoid arthritis. It is important to us as a producer of food products that the beef and pork we raise and sell not only appeals to the taste buds but is a benefit to our customeras overall health and well being. Enjoy! TIMBER RIDGE CATTLE CO.
