[QUOTE="KMacGinley, post: 300615, member: 3175"] Wow: There are too many variables to answer this question one way or the other. For example: The sugars needed for marbling is glucose and sucrose, which is why corn tends to marble cattle more easily. Grain byproducts such as gluten etc, have little of this present, which is why cattle fed byproducts will put on fat, (YG 4) but not marble as well. The same is true with grasses. Some are higher in Carbohydrates; Crabgrass, some cool season grasses, the more mature grasses have higher fiber and lower sugar. So to say that [b]all[/b] grassfed beef is worse is ridiculous. Someone that knows what they are doing can finish cattle well on grass and provide a tender and tasty product. I would rather have a grassfed british breed calf than a grainfed Piedmontese. :) [/QUOTE]
