Neal I had a&w in Minneapolis… the burger and fries are way better there than here. Like it’s not even the same food they brag that a&w Canada is grass fed, antibiotic free beef like ok… If the animal gets sick you just let it die instead of giving it a life saving treatment? Sure sounds humane plus animals have a clean out period if they got antibiotics and can’t be taken to market until they’re healthy and clean so technically all meat is antibiotic free… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the average marbling of a grass fed steer and one that gets corn. Then taste them side by side. You'll NEVER want the grass fed one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially finishing, how many feedlots aren’t using corn silage and DDGs mixed in. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stinkiest and worst beef I had in my life was grass finished growing them on grass is maybe ok but you have to finish them on grain. Otherwise they can really stink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I only buy burger from the local butcher who grinds in house. The perfect medium rare steak? Using a digital thermo when the center hits 115-120 pull it off the heat and rest 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkisNH Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Read an article that did the breakdown on GW impact real beef and the process of raising cattle vs the fake shit. The fake shit was way worse for the environment. Taking away the claim they were saving the world from cow farts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I buy a side of beef every year from a local guy that are 2-2.5 years old Angus that's grassed and grained. It's not what quality some are accustomed to on here but it works. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Man some of you dudes put way too much thought into beef. I go to the butcher, buy a strip loin or tenderloin, have them whip up a bunch of inch and a half steaks. And grill it. Delicious. I don't stand there like a dork..... "Ohhhh was that grass fed? Grain finished? Ohhhh that marbling is unacceptable!" wgaf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a friend so I believe him even tho he could be filling me with bs. Notice the pun? Anyhow, the big deal is age because after they're, I think, 30 months you can't cut a T-bone or Porterhouse from the side because of potential mad cow disease. Kinda fucked up.

As for the answers to the questions you don't ask, there are signs posted on the meat as you look at it. You pretty much have to be blind to miss them. Blame the idiot hippies on the whole grass fed movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I bought a 1/4 of a Wagyu grown in North Carolina and it was grained its entire life. It’s a different beef experience for sure. I’ve eaten local beef that has had nothing but grass and it tasted like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
