The beef entry in Open Farm's ancient grains trio, and the richest of the three at 431 kcal per cup. Protein and fat match the lamb and chicken versions exactly at 26 and 15 percent, so if you are rotating between them you are changing the protein and very little else. One small difference worth noting for anyone watching mineral ratios: phosphorus is guaranteed at 1.2 percent here against 1.0 percent in the lamb and chicken recipes, with calcium the same at 1.2 percent. Whitefish meal is third, so this is a two protein food. Grass-fed and humanely raised both describe how the cattle were kept rather than where the beef came from, and the page carries no made in statement. The AAFCO line excludes growth of large size dogs.
