re: Grass fed beef

I buy exclusively GF, not just for potential health benefits but because I like the concept that my family is directly linked to the family we buy from. We rely on their meat, they rely on income from us.
We didn't just choose them because they're local, we picked them because they were the best of our options.
As for taste, all GF meat isn't the same; it's all in the grass. I've visited the farm we buy from, and the grass is fantastic. It's chest high, minimal invasive grasses; the kind of pasture people in the 1800's would fight over.
Some ranchers simply aren't candidates for wholly grass fed cows, at least until they work on grass quality.

It is very interesting, the history and relationship between ranchers and the consumers. Cattle back then were fatter all the while eating wild grown grasses. Then the nation took on its fat-phobic guidelines and the ranchers took notice. They started breeding leaner cattle. So now, the main lines of cattle we have only get fat on the corn.
There are groups out there that are trying to reverse this and go back to the old ways. My dream is to grab some land and have some of these more "old school" cattle" when I retire.
