Well, long story short, if a grass fed steer producer is marketing the meat as such, they may be seeing some premium market dollars for it. But that consumer market, especially where premium dollars can be seen, is pretty much limited to the all natural or organic world. Which may or may not be implementing grass fed (I don't know, I don't shop in those stores). Those producers may or may not be feeding all natural or organic grown corn to the steers. But, if sold to the packing plant where all the other corn fed steers end up, there is no way they are seeing any premium dollars, and thier operation is penciling out a much less profit margin. If not, its penciling out at a loss, and no income at all. So basically, if the meat is not marketed as grass fed in the end, it is pointless to do. Corn fed adds flavor to the meat. But more importantly, it aids in marbling fat within the meat, which makes the meat way more tender. Only health watch eaters who are watching thier fat intake, are going to buy this grass fed stuff. So, that highly limits the marketing of it. And this meat has to be processed, marketed, and kept seperatly through all phases, and labeled to target that consumer. I raise cattle. And would never even think about trying to finish feed steers on grass. My pocket book sure aint big enough for that.
