Grass Fed Steaks

Honestly, I don’t get the point of grass fed steaks. The cows already dead so who cares what you feed it?

Ok apparently my dad joke didn’t land. Probably because I don’t have kids.

No amount of marketing will change my opinion. For a good steak, grain finished will always be the better product.

Actress Kristen Schaal grew up on her family's Colorado cattle ranch. When she was on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, he asked her if they ever ate any of the cattle.

She said they sometimes did if one was injured and had to be put down, "but the meat wasn't any good because it was grass fed."

I thought that was hilarious. Folks now pay extra for grass fed, but a family living on a ranch full of grass fed cattle preferred beef finished on grain.

We're all so used to corn/grain finished beef that true grass fed is like an entirely different animal.

Most people just will not like it.

All cattle are grass fed. But back in the day they figured out if you fattened their arse up with grain before you ate them the tasted a helluva lot better. Nothing has changed since then.

In my experience, grass fed ground beef is damn good, but for steaks, it's not worth it.

I’m dumb

Yes, that is what the articles I linked say.

I ordered a quarter cow - 100% grass fed. Never again. Tough and much gamey-er than grass fed/grain finished
