Farmer explains Grass fed vs Grain fed Cows 

It's because he was grass fed.

With purely grass fed you might as well be eating free deer.

@@silencemeviolateme6076 agreed hahaha although grass fed beef doesn’t have that gaminess that venison does. But to your point it’s a hell of a lot cheaper.

@@collinlynch4569 I think it is gamey. Grain fed I can eat all day. Grass tastes too strong. Even the smell of it cooking is nasty. I buy prime premade hamburgers from Walmart. About ten dollars for a 4 pack. So I don't get fancy, but any of the Angus market beef is vile. It has to say prime or choice.

@@silencemeviolateme6076 so the breed we feed out which is 70-80% grass fed is black baldies which is Angus/Hereford cross is about the best tasting meat we have. Purebred angus can’t compare to it for some reason.

Predominantly? If it is fed grain at all it is grain fed. No cow is fed nothing but grain.

@@silencemeviolateme6076 Yes in Ireland, cattle are fed, "predominantly" with grass. They spend around 8 months out in grass pasture. Then fed inside for the winter with fermented grass, silage. Of course they get some concentrate, but they predominantly feed on grass

@@victorocallaghan6791 in the US, until they started the grass fed propaganda, they were only fed grain for a couple weeks before slaughter. Always looking to cut cost they started this gras fed "health" kick. No 4star steak house in the country is serving grass fed.

@@silencemeviolateme6076 I am sorry, I do not know the situation in the USA . Ireland has small farms and therefore it is more convenient and cost effective than non grass fed cattle. Like in Britain, it maybe labelled British beef, but it would be an irish cow in Britain 2 weeks before slaughter

@@victorocallaghan6791 if it is fed any grain it is not "grass" fed. All cattle is fed grass. "Grain" fed means they are fed grain two weeks before slaughter. That two weeks of grain completely changes the fat distribution. The meat marbles. Marbling doesn't happen in grass fed only. If Ireland feeds grain the last few weeks that is "grain" fed cattle. "Grass" fed never eats any grain. The meat doesn't marble. It is healthier but the taste is vile. It is gamey.

You did not understand what he said. He said if you let the cow live the rest of his life on the feeder doing the same thing as it has been doing every day of its life ( little sleep, over fed at odd hoirs and no open space, just in his pen) its life expectancy will definitely be drasically shorter than a cow that is free pature raised

@@frankkiri398 which is where the lies come in. All cows are pasture fed. The feed lot is the last two weeks. No one is feeding a cow pure grain all its life. It is unnecessary and a waste of money.

@@frankkiri398 Cows do not survive if they’re over fed grain period. The majority of any cow’s ration, beef or dairy is forage. They are a ruminating animal. This guy is spreading false information about how conventional beef is raised.

All high grade beef is grain fed. Grass fed is lean and tastes like jerky.

@@1donniekak tastes like spoiled jerky.
