[QUOTE="RD-Sam, post: 570276, member: 7927"] No different than taking an animal that was traditionally fed on grass alone and turning it into an animal that is fed grain and corn to make it grow faster than it should. It's about tayloring to todays market. I am having trouble figuring out way they took them off the grass to start with? If you are in it for the long haul, what is an extra year or two to get started, and just let the cattle graze on their own, you don't have all that expensive feed and antibiotics, and cows getting sick in feedlots because the conditions are filthy. Why can't they just graze and even reproduce once before they head to market? The beef is said to have more flavor from a grass fed animal too. Did everything go overboard and now everyone is paying the price with high feed costs? [/QUOTE]
