[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 691942, member: 7875"] Well, here's my stance on all of this. 1. I have had great CHOICE grassfed Ribeye steaks. I have also had bad grassfed meat. 2. I have had great grainfed steaks, and some that I've thrown out to the dogs. 3. It doesn't matter how fast you can grow beef, if your profit margins suffer for it. I'll take the extra 4 months and a higher profit marging over more growth and less profit any day. 4. I don't care what the scenario. If you put junk in, you're going to get junk out. It doesn't matter if it's oil in your car or grass/feed in your livestock. 5. You can grow just as much beef in a grassfed situation as in a grainfed situation. Usually you can grow more because of the intensive land management practices. Remember wherever that corn came from to finish cattle, that was land used for the specific purpose of cattle feed. That's land use that most people don't think counts toward production. 6. Do I think a cow that eats two pounds of corn a day is evil or unhealthy? No. Look at deer. They eat corn whenever they can. The difference is the feedlot. 7. The people pushing grassfed studies may have an agenda, but it is no more strong than the agendas pushed by the fertilizer salesman, the deworming companies, the vaccine companies, or anyone else. The only difference is we've started to believe one, and think the other must be crazy to say the opposite is true. 8. I'm going to raise what I want to raise and you are going to raise what you want to raise. No amount of evidence either way will sway us because our minds are made up. [/QUOTE]
