The Importance of Quality Fed Cattle

Many people mistakenly believe that grass-fed beef is always grass-finished, but this isn't always true. "Finishing" refers to the diet of an animal right up until it is processed or during the last few months of its life. Animals can be finished on grass, corn, or grain. Grass-finished beef is typically leaner, tougher, and has a more earthy flavor, while grain-finished beef is recognized for its marbling, tenderness, and milder taste.
