* diet shall be derived solely from forage consisting of grass, forbs , browse, or cereal crops in the vegetative (pre-grain) state.
* Animals cannot be fed grain or grain byproducts
* must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season.

Natural or All-Natural

FDA” From a food science perspective, it is difficult to define a food product that is 'natural' because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the
product of the earth.That said, FDA has not developed a definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives. However, the agency has not objected to the use of
the term if the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances.”
