Beef or cattle are fed grass tillt hey are ready to butcher,
but for a month or so before they are fed grain in the feed lot,
where they are kept in a place where they don't move arround so they can
gain weight faster,
Thy will be fatter with a lot of marble, fat meat is more tender.
Grass fed beef will taste different, it all depends on the type of grass,
same as deer meat, if you shoot a deer that ate a lot of pine branches it
will taste
different than the deer that grazed on alfalfa and corn.
I prefer grass fed beef because it has less fat.
