[QUOTE="Phil2, post: 1133589, member: 22388"] I've always been curious about people complaining about grass finished beef stinking or tasting really bad. It's always been someone who bought beef, or was given beef, from 'someone'. I've NEVER had a grass finished steak/roast/burger that I'd even consider 'gamey'. I do eat a lot of deer so maybe my taste buds are out of whack or something, but I've also never had any complaints from the grass finished beef I've given to neighbors, friends or family (my beefs have always been fairly young, 18 months?, and not exactly 'finished' to most peoples standards). I can't help but wonder if either the person complaining was jaded over the whole experience (paid too much?), the animal was stressed at kill, or something the butcher did/didn't do (no idea what that would be, I've only ever taken animals to one butcher and have never had a problem with any of the beef, pork, or lamb from them. It always tastes like it does when I do the work myself.) Anyone have any first hand insight on what would be the issue? Phil [/QUOTE]
