Lets just say its the new "OLD" deal. You would in all reality find very litle beef in the US thatis not grass fed. Corn finished beef is what this actually refers to. Grass fed AND finished beef went out of favor mostly in the early to mid sixties. and its NOT in ANY way the FEED that makes one more or less bad for you. major feed lots give cattle shots of chemicals while they are alive to start the tenderizing/finishing process.then they are simply fed corn and things to get the maximum yeild to bone ratio they can. cattle are medicated heavily also with chemicals simply to stop or slow down disease that would spread rapidly through a feed lot in the crowded conditions also. its these chemicals that folks dont like not the feeding. in REALITY,i honestly doubt you find TOO much actual honest to goodness grass fed only beef in the us. most of it is put up in lots and fed for at least a few days . according to the experts you can take the wild taste out of beef in ten days in a lot. and most of them at least get this much. these days grass fed beef means a different thing than the old days. and to be quite honest, unless some one here simply walked out in the pasture and killed one, very few here have ever eaten a true grass fed only beef.they are rare,simply because folks hold a steer or something at least a few days in a pen. most packing plants hold cattle at least a few days , and LOTS of private butchers also have pens where they hold cattle if they are selling beef. they have to be fed ,and its quite honestly much much easier to feed grain or a mixed feed in a pen than it is hay. to make really good grass fed beef, you need really really good pasture,you have to kill cattle at the right time,and you really have to know your pastures as to what cattle have been feeding on for the last few days or weeks as certain plants become more dominant in certain seasons. its far far harder to make consistant grass fed beef than it is in a feedlot. the feed changes,the quality of feed changes, and very importantly the preferences of the individual cattle changes.all these things are overcome in a feedlot.
