Went to Whole Foods today and saw some nice looking pasture raised steaks.

They were nicely marbled and honestly looked good but I did not purchase them. I wanted to run it by the experts here before I spent that kind of money.
Is "pasture raised" a term similar to "gulf fish" that all the cool kids know is used to fool the public so that they buy an inferior product?
Should I have asked "what pasture where they raised in"?
What are the good pastures?
TIA

I'm sure it's the same as "cage free" chicken or eggs. I have a distant uncle that used to run a chicken processing company in Arkansas and still raises chickens currently. Vistied his chicken houses and he told me all about it.
Basically it's all bullshite

did u ever see all those mangy, skinny cows around cameron and hackberry in the early 80's, maybe still there? if so, yes, those would be considered pasture raised.

used to be said that those were sent to mcdonalds..

Same as grass fed beef. Instead of being finished on a feed lot they spend their entire lives on a pasture and go straight to a slaughter house.

Grass fed beef is frickin awesome although yes I do hate that it's become a hipster thing. Most yuppy types don't realize that EVERY cow is "pasture raised" until a couple years before it becomes a mcdouble

Semantics.
He said he would sell "marinated" chicken that his company deboned and cut up to the buyers. These marinated chickens started at let's say 1 lb and would sell for 1.1 lb after bc of water weight. And he sold the same chicken cut up to fast food restaurants as he did to other nicer restaurants.

Pasture raised, grass feed = bullshite marketing to sheeple.

Right on.
The chicken is pretty versatile in this regard.

Snap any pics?

Of course bro. No milfs, but I got one of you.

Practically all beef is pasture-raised, grain-finished. I would never assume that pasture-raised = grass fed. I've never heard of that even being used as a marketing slogan before. And if it was well marbled, I'd almost guarantee it's not grass fed.
What was the cut and the price?
I'll never sway in my opinion that grain finishing is what makes good beef.

Whole foods steaks better than any other grocery, comparable to maxwell's. I believe they label it as "pasture raised", not grass fed or grass finished, etc, which doesn't mean much. I have read that they have contracts with ranches to only supply to whole foods, which may be the reason for the increased quality. Their steaks are more flavorful, not nearly as "mushy" (for lack of a better word) as normal steaks to me.
Just had the hanger steak from there last night and it was one of the best pieces of meat I've ever had

So much marketing in this world. I get so confused sometimes with the labels that are just meant to obfuscate.
A good example is the term "gulf fish".

I spoke with the guy from Hollywood Farms in Zachary... Dude says everything they have is strictly grass fed/pasture raised beef. He said its not going to be as marbled as most beef and that you have to cook it different b/c it is leaner that most beef. Also, says it has a different flavor.
I'm adding this to go along with the "good marbling" on the meat you saw. Alexanders carries the Hollywood Farms meat. It does not look very marbled and is a tad more expensive.
I will say this, the ground beef is good and their pork is very tasty as well.
