[QUOTE="VanC, post: 875709, member: 3355"] Your first paragraph is right on the money, IMO. There have to be different types of cattle adapted to different parts of the world. Most swine and poultry are now raised indoors in controlled environments so they can be more consistent. The beef industry doesn't have that luxury. I have to disagree with your second paragraph, however, at least to a point. While variety can be a good thing, I believe most consumers want consistency in any product they buy, including beef. In other words, they WANT those cookie-cutter steaks. As an example, I saw some ribeyes yesterday that were just under 14 bucks a pound. The average comsumer that might buy those is going to want to be reasonably sure that they're going to be good. Most people don't like crap shoots when spending that much. If they don't turn out good it's not likely they'll try it again, at least not at that price. By the way, I bought them and am going to grill them later today so I'll let you know. [/QUOTE]
