[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1679415, member: 15537"] My previous butcher told me that wild onions (which come on strong here in Feb and March) will give the meat an awful taste. He recommended keeping anything to be finished in the early spring off pasture. I have taken a few beef to the butcher in May that were on grass all spring and didn't have any that tasted awful. Maybe the onions had time to flush out. I hadn't heard of fescue being a problem. I am sure all of the beef I have eaten in the last 10 years has consumed a good deal of fescue. I didn't notice any bad taste. I don't believe I have any pasture that is 100% fescue, but I doubt I have any that are less than 50% fescue. I think our home raised meat tastes pretty good. I read clover and ryegrass were preferable forages to finish on. Supposed to give the meat a good flavor. I have both of those in most of my pastures, but I don't have any pastures that are exclusively clover and ryegrass. [/QUOTE]
