[QUOTE="john250, post: 300772, member: 4406"] My preference is corn-fed. I never had any purely grass fed beef, but a few years ago I was feeling pinched financially and I fed one on mostly pasture and hay. You had to add a pat of butter to the skillet to fry a hamburger it was so lean. If you like it that way, more power to you. My cholesterol is 124 and I burn more calories than I consume many days so I'm going to go with what I like. Having said that--there is an expanding market for grass fed beef and considering the price of corn we are going to be glad it is an option. edited to add: the price spread between select grade (which could include grass fed) and choice (which has certainly had mostly grain) is very wide. If you sell into commercial markets I think you almost have to feed grain. If you sell "off the farm" then it is whatever you can agree with a buyer. [/QUOTE]
