[QUOTE="Vanner, post: 644351, member: 10336"] Looking for advice. Is the beef quality, as in marbling and/or leanness, (for dinner plates), of grass fed Red Poll steers comparable to a Charolais or Black Angus? I understand that the Char's and Angus are leaner meats with less fat, but do the Red Poll's have a higher fat content as far as meat to bone ratio? I hope this makes sense! Also I am curious about what breed of cattle that the super market chains (Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Albertson's, Von's, Kroeger, etc.) use for their beef, as it is usually tough with no flavor. I understand that it just depends on their supplier and at what price, but even their "premium" cuts are horrible! We only buy our meat from Costco because the quality and flavor is superb. But nobody seems to know who their supplier is or what breed of beef they insist on. Henceforth, my interest in raising my own beef but still undecided on which breed to use. Any thoughts? Thank you for your input. [/QUOTE]
