[QUOTE="RanchManager, post: 605691, member: 8827"] Some I know prefer it (very few). It is actually higher in antioxidants. Myself, if I wanted grass fed beef, I would just sell the beef and shoot myself a buck. To me, grass fed beef taste like game. Most of us from the USA associated the taste of a good steak with the tast of a good grain finished beef. All variables equal, grain fed beef is always more tender and presents the palate with different flavor. The marbling you acheive (inner muscle fat) with grain finishing gives the meat the tenderness and flavor we have become accustomed to. If you are curious give it a shot. If you like the taste you can save yourself alot of money in the future finishing them on grass alone. If you don't like it, you can always grind it up with more beef tallow and have yourself alot of burger. There is a small niche market for grass finished beef. We have a few customers who buy beef direct (on the hoof) from us and insist on grass fed only beef. They want our bigger 9 month old calves ( about 900 lbs). They are grass fed, but still tender because they are young. We have one cowboy working on our crew too, who likes grass fed beef. He is from Texas though and thinks grass fed is great just because it is better than mesquite fed. [/QUOTE]
