The Southwest Grassfed Livestock Alliance
- SWGLA* is an
alliance of producers, consumers, land managers, conservationists, and
researchers that seeks to improve human, ecological and animal
health, and strengthen local agricultural communities by educating
producers, and the public about the many benefits of grassfed livestock
products.
SWGLA is a
dynamic non-profit alliance that offers local training workshops for
ranchers and farmers interested in raising grassfed livestock, offers
meat tastings to introduce consumers to grassfed meat, and collaborates
with many partner organizations on a variety of agriculture, health,
environment and rural economic development issues facing the people of
the Southwest.
SWGLA is committed
to developing programs and initiatives that assist producers and inform
consumers in Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.
When
grazing animals are raised on their natural diet of grass, their
products are low in bad fat (Omega 6) and calories, but high in
potentially lifesaving good fats (Omega 3). Grass
farming is healthy for animals, for farm families, for consumers, and
for the planet.
