[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1648557, member: 968"] Grass fed finished beef requires an acquired taste. It is like eating wild deer meat. I always advise anyone that asks about grass finished beef - buy a GOOD STEAK. If it is what you want to eat for a steak, go for it. BUT - grass fed does not mean HEALTHIER. The ONLY research on grass fed vs grain fed was done by Texas A&M. It is shameful that govt allows anyone to scare people into buying niche market product based on it being HEALTHIER without PROOF. [URL unfurl="true"]https://animalscience.tamu.edu/2013/12/07/ground-beef-from-grass-fed-and-grain-fed-cattle-does-it-matter/[/URL] I am not saying grass fed can't be finished out decent - but it is a LOT more management than grain fed - and the resulting product is not liked by people that like grain fed beef. Just saying. Properly grass finished beef takes about 20-28 months of age. You may say, well grass is cheaper than grain. I finish my steers at 12-13 months of age, hanging an average wt of 750#, and grade choice or choice+. Time is money - and GOOD grass isn't cheap. [/QUOTE]
