[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1825341, member: 24816"] Your cattle may be truly fattened on grass, and maybe some other peoples are not properly fattened, and just pulled out of a random field in pasture condition there would be a lot of difference right there. We had a 2 year old heifer that didn’t claim a calf. She was in decent shape but not ready to be processed. The only available processor that we were aware of at the time was closing down in month to process hogs. I fed her as best I could for that month but I knew it wasn’t going to be good enough for steaks. My wife insisted because she didn’t understand at the time. Steaks were tough as whet leather. The taste was good however, I don’t understand the bad taste and smell unless somebody got a hold of a dark cutter. If they are grazing wild onions in the fields then that would give an off flavor. Corn Gluten in the ration is said to be an issue with off taste too. I’ve had properly finished grass fed roast from somebody else before and it was good, but generally I prefer grain finished and I would never attempt to grass finish everything as our pastures aren’t up to that.
