Problem with grass fed beef is most "producers" can't get the level of finish and marbling needed for tender, tasty, beef on their pastures.
Like most everything else, it needs to be done right and you absolutely need top notch pasture.
Probably most grass fed should be ground into chopmeat, but producers are swinging for the fences to get the high dollar payout.
It's lot's easier to pour corn into them, and get a decent finish then to get your pastures right. No conspiracy, just the natural growing phase of a "new" paradigm.
Makes great sense. Supposedly the worlds best beef is in south america. All grass-fed. Maybe it's the cattle genetics, maybe their cattle get exercise. Maybe they're happier cattle down there.
