Is grass fed beef better than grain fed beef?

[Greenheadless]

Grass fed = venison
Grain fed = beef

Deer don’t eat grass, per sey.

as far as those concerned with the health science….

3-ounce serving of grass-fed beef has about 0.015 grams of omega-3 fatty acids, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Nutrient Database.

3-ounce serving of conventional grain finish ground beef has about 0.003 grams of omega-3s

3-ounce serving of wild-caught Alaskan salmon has about 1.5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids,

takes 100oz of grass finished beef to equal 3oz of Salmon.

moral of the story its dumb to promote ANY beef as a influential source of omega 3 as its levels grass or grain are clinically insignificant

I too enjoy grain finished beef, but I saw Alton Brown say one time that most people enjoy it more because that's what the majority of beef is and what most people grew up on. Grain finished beef yields higher profits for someone. Whether it's the rancher, the packer, the butcher, I'm not sure. But I think most people only "prefer" grain finished because that's what they've eaten for so long. I'd wager an Indian from the 19th century would prefer grass finished meat to grain finished, just because thats what they grew up on.

(and I've got half a grain finished steer in the freezer)

That could be said for any food.

No more protein pellets, corn or cottonseed for my deer. Only grass fed from now on.

Grass fed = venison
Grain fed = beef

Spot on

I prefer beef fed beef. Really great flavor.

Cotton seed obviously, corn obviously, but the sorghum isn’t roundup or Liberty readied, if it is, name the variety please. I see sorghum mostly fed at RGV feedlots. If you made sorghum roundup ready (Im a farmer that hates weeds and Im not a scientist) but it would probably cross breed with grass and become an ecological nightmare to kill. I am assuming when you say GMO your talking about modified to accept herbicides. The corn is modified further to where the worm dies after eating it. Once the big die off on the planet earth begins from so many starving these arguments will quickly be tossed aside IMO. You will eat it happily without waxing whether or not we are trying to kill you hippies

I might have been overserved apologies to any hippies on TBH

If I had to eat grass fed beef, I wouldn't eat much beef.
