What factor(s) could cause my beef from a local farm to taste & smell ‘off’ this time around?

[QUOTE="BritishWhiteGal, post: 1814875, member: 43284"] What breeds are you talking about here?!?!?!? I have never, ever, had problems with my BW. If a cow eats endophyte infected fescue grass it will smell awful and you shouldn't eat it. It doesn't harm the cow, just the meat. So check and see, does your pasture have fescue? My grass-fed beef might smell a bit different just because it is not full of chemicals and hormones, but it tastes AMAZING and we literally cannot eat store-bought beef anymore. (Along with a lot of fellow British White breeders) Yes, it has a slightly different taste, but an awesome taste. My biggest area of particularity is marbling lol. The BW is prized for its marbling so for me it must be perfect.... I really concentrate on calves having a stress free start. But that is the only area I have ever had problems with, and that steer was an Angus ;) [/QUOTE]
