How Reserve Beef is Graded

Silver Fern Reserve Grass-Fed Beef represents the some of the finest beef New Zealand produces – the top shelf.  While their Angus Grass-Fed Beef is excellent and a favorite product of many people on the Marx Foods staff, Reserve represents a level of quality above it.

Like the Angus line, Reserve is also:

  • 100% Grass-Fed & Finished
  • Pasture Raised Free Range
  • Raised without Antibiotic or Hormone Growth Promotants
  • From New Zealand, Where GMOs are Illegal

 
The way this is achieved is through a new, complex, scientifically developed grading system (called the Eating Quality, or “EQ” system) that is used to skim off roughly the top 5% of quality for the Reserve program.
