[QUOTE="City Guy, post: 1347639, member: 25547"] I was addressing LCC's comment that the fat cattle were eating grass that could be used to birth more calves, I was not trying to drive a wedge between grain fed and grass fed. Feeding grain just so more calves can be born doesn't seem to be a well thought-out strategy. It has been twenty years since I owned the restaurant and things are certainly different. To quote Mohammed Ali " If a man believes at fifty years of age what he believed at twenty years of age he has wasted thirty years." The worst steak I ever ate was grass fed. The best steak I ever ate was grass fed. Both were expensive. All the steaks I served in my restaurant were grain fed, as was the pork, the chicken and the catfish. I understand the concepts of "fed in" and "bred in" but I have talked to many cattlemen who don't seem to know the difference or know there is a difference. Isn't it time that we admit that grass fed beef is a different business than cattle ranching in the traditional sense? Different business with a different plan, different use of resources, different marketing, different customers, even different types of cattle. Supa Dexta; Don't you think those hungry humans in inhospitable places would leave if they could? Maybe Eastern Canada can take some! [/QUOTE]
