The United States beef industry is in trouble, and everyone knows it!
Beef prices are at an all-time high, but costs and interest rates are even higher. As the chart above shows, there is no profit to be had. In addition, over the past five years, America has lost nearly 107,000 beef cattle farms and ranches. Cattle inventory is at its lowest point in 70 years!
There are many factors that figure into this decline, but the most significant point is that it is just too hard to make any money. We have been talking with farms and ranches all over the United States for years and the message is always the same. They are all struggling with high costs and higher debt loads than they ever have before. Too many of them aren't going to make it.
Here at Bio Minerals Technologies, we have an answer...Omega Balance Natural Beef®.

Typical grass/dry-forage-fed animals have an average dry matter conversion ratio of 20 lbs fed for every 1lb gained (20:1). Our fermented forage has an average conversion ratio of 7:1 (based on dry matter intake)! This translates into faster growth and less feed. In fact, we can bring an animal to slaughter weight (1200-1400 lbs) in 16-22 months. The meat is young, tender, and well-marbled, exactly what customers are looking for! This is about 1/2 of the time required for a comparable grass-fed steer. Grass-fed animals require 24-30 months to reach 1200 lbs, and by the time they do, the meat is older, tougher, and with little-to-no marbling.
The chart below compares the feed requirements and revenue potential for a single grass-fed and finished animal as compared to a fermented-forage-fed animal.
| Feed Efficiency Increase | Dry feed/grazed | Fermented |
| Starting weight (lbs) | 600 | 600 |
| Finish weight (lbs) | 1200 | 1200 |
| Conversion | 20:1 | 7:1 |
| Dry matter required (lbs) | 12,000 | 4,200 |
| Time to finish (months) | 16 | 9.3 |
| Hanging weight (lbs) | 750 | 750 |
| Animals to finish | 1 | 1 |
| Revenue ($3.56/lb) | $2,670 | $2,670 |
| Revenue per month | $166.88 | $286.07 |
As you can see, the Fermented Forage program will finish one animal using only 1/3 of the forage and in 42% less time! The reduced forage inputs and faster turnaround change your average monthly revenue by 170%!
Now let's see what happens when we use the same amount of dry matter under both systems.
| Production Efficiency Increase | Dry feed/grazed | Fermented |
| Starting weight (lbs) | 600 | 600 |
| Finish weight (lbs) | 1200 | 1200 |
| Conversion | 20:1 | 7:1 |
| Dry matter required (lbs) | 12,000 | 12,000 |
| Time to finish (months) | 16 | 9.3 |
| Hanging weight (lbs) | 750 | 750 |
| Animals to finish | 1 | 2.86 |
| Revenue ($3.56/lb) | $2,670 | $7,628.57 |
| Revenue per month | $166.88 | $817.35 |
Now, instead of finishing just one animal, you can finish almost 3 animals, on the same amount of feed required for a single grass-fed animal. You still reduce the finishing time by 42%, but you change your average monthly revenue by 490%!
There are savings and additional profit to be had even if you are a feed-lot operation. Your animals will be healthier, and they will grow and marble better on the fermented forage than even on the high-grain diets, and the cost savings can be significant! Using the Omega Balance Natural Beef program, your animals can qualify for the grass-fed market (we never use any grain). The grass-fed market premium adds significantly to your bottom line and the cost of gain savings pads that increase significantly.
The charts below show the qualities of the Omega Balance Natural Beef, comparing the excessive Omega 6:3 ratios of grain-fed feedlot cattle with both grass-fed cattle and Omega Balance Natural Beef cattle.


Producing better beef is great, but it doesn't mean anything if you can't make more money doing it. We have you covered!
We have multiple outlet options. If you have a local, organic grass-fed market that you can access, you can sell your cattle into the existing premiums, with much less cost and much higher quality that other producers. We also have existing specialty markets that are actively looking for producers to fill their demand for healthy, high-quality beef and we can connect you with those outlets. Some producers may look for a combination of both options and that is fine too.
