| HEALTHY | 7.5 | Flagship 100% grass-fed grass-finished; sitewide 'no antibiotics or added hormones, ever' plus 200+ item never-ever list; welfare certs corroborated by certifier; but no certified-organic beef and RWA claims are self-claimed, not AMS-verified. | |

| HAPPY | 8.5 | All beef third-party welfare certified: Certified Humane confirmed on certifier's own site (Feb 2024); US line claims GAP Step 4 via Creekstone network; pasture-raised, 'never confined to a feedlot' on both lines. | |
