We raised a few calves to butcher when I was a kid and the ones we slaughtered right off of grass were ok for hamburger even though you had to add fat sometimes and the steaks were grass fed steaks. That is about the best you can say about them.
Those that we let into the barn to eat grain were always better. You take a 1100 or 1200 lb European breed (hereford and angus finish smaller than those with brahma blood was our experience) steer fed for a month or two a heavy grain diet to slaughter and you got some good beef.
You got to really like to cook hamburger and roast and round steak and such to buy a whole beef or even a side.

I'll have a big arse gmo cornfed tomahawk ribeye, medium rare and a great Cab Franc with you anytime I B and I'll buy.
Sounds good to me!!
I made the "mistake" of buying a prime ribeye at Rouses a while back and grilled it myself---it was tender as butter. I had bought prime steaks at steakhouse before but had always bought choice for my own use. I couldn't bring myself to pay $20 for a ribeye from the supermarket before and now that I have done I am ruined.
It is hard to finish steers to prime grade. I think it almost luck and the packing houses pull it out when they see it.

Grass fed beef is the natural diet of the animal, it can be very good, ....but no one can tell me a good "grain-finished" beef steak isn't the best every once in a while.
