NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

   In the past, beef has been portrayed negatively by the media and in some nutritional diets and programs. The USDA publishes Handbook 8-13 which contains nutritional data on beef. We believe that the handbook doesn't take into consideration the modern lean cattle of today. This data has only been updated a few times in the last 50 years. The current printed material is old; they have stopped printing a hard copy of the information because the volume would be too large and the information frequently changes. There is, however, current info on the web available to consumers upon request.

   Their website is www.nalusda.gov/fnic/index.html or you can phone 301-734-8491. Look at Maverick Ranch's lean nutritionals.

   Today's Maverick Ranch Natural Beef, in most of our popular cuts, has nutritional values that exceed most fish and chicken.
