Doesn't all beef eat grass ?

Believe hay is also used

[npwalters]

Hay is actually just dried grass. Most beef is fed silage -usually corn- to fatten them prior to slaughter.

Not sure why the OP would object to this but to each their own.

I imagine they mean pasture raised rather than feed lot. Some people have heard (maybe its true) that, in Florida, they feed cattle peanut shells and that it makes the beef taste funny.

So that is why they have so many bales of hay behind the store

Pasture Prime, a vendor at the Saturday Brownwood farmer’s market sells grass fed beef. They have a web page. PasturePrimewagyu.com. You can pre-order there to pick up on Saturday. Not sure if he’s selling due to the virus but the website should help.

Most cattle and pigs are fed very precisely engineered feed. There are usually a few different “mixes” used between birth and slaughter. The feed is designed to promote growth and produce a precise ratio of fat to lean meat. The combination of the choice of male and female parents and the feed is so effective that the time between birth and when they are loaded on the truck to go to slaughter is accurate within a matter of days. The key measure is the weight of the animal. Meat processing plants are designed to handle animals of a specific size and weight. Of course, most meat in the stores are raised using this kind of feed. My guess is that smaller amounts of “grass fed” meat is available at most good meat markets, at higher cost of course. I know that both Choice and Prime beef is available at Sam’s Club, although I don’t know whether either is grass fed.

Yes, Pasture Prime is a great vendor and their beef is awesome. I have also seen that Sam’s is now carrying grass fed beef. I have purchased it and am about to try it.

Welcome to The Villages, in advance. I think you will be happy to be here.:welcome:

It is a fact that grain fed cattle taste different than grass fed beef. It isn't that it is bad, just different and not to our liking. Coming from area where grass fed beef was the main, if not the only, source of restaurant beef, we noticed the tase difference in restaurants here instantly. We won't order steak at any restaurant here. Sam's, and certain other places like Publix, have grass/hay fed beef and we always grill our own.

Milo is what most cattle are fed if they aren't raised only on grass/hay. Corn fed beef results in a much different flavor. Milo is a huge crop preference in the mid and upper west agricultural areas.

[Stu from NYC]

Will hamburgers taste different depending upon how the animal was fed?

Where else would you rear fish

[karostay]

Cracks me up they charge a premium for Angus beef when if fact Angus line of bovine has a greater yield due to its bone structure
over White Faced or Black Faced beef..Marketing is everything

[jjalthen]

Today cows are fed grain (GMO grain mostly). They do not, in cattle feed lots, eat any grass. This is the meat you get in the grocery store. Grass is their natural food. They are fed "unnatural" grains which fatten them up and cause disease requiring them to be given antibiotics to stay alive. I am looking for a source of 100% grass fed beef.

Trader Joe’s, organic grass fed ground beef. Best ever!

[jjalthen]

Thank you for the info!

[jjalthen]

Where is the closest Trader Joes?

[jjalthen]

TV has an Aldi's?

[jjalthen]

Wow, you know the beef industry! Thanks for the info.

[jjalthen]

Thank you for the welcome. My mom has lived in TV for 25 years so I am familiar with the lifestyle.

Corn silage is chopped up before the corn has fully matured. Stalk is cut off a few inches above the ground and the entire plant is chopped into silage.

[Stu from NYC]

TV has an Aldi's?

Three of them I believe

Unfortunately about an hour away, wish we would get one

To understand the corn problem, you need an open mind with which to read a book by Dr Steven Gundry. You could google him and he has been documented by history channel or Nat Geographic.

[Stu from NYC]

I kind of like this thread learned something about how cows are fed.

Not a lot to do right now

Milo is what most cattle are fed if they aren't raised only on grass/hay. Corn fed beef results in a much different flavor. Milo is a huge crop preference in the mid and upper west agricultural areas.

Silage is almost always corn in the south. Most of the corn you see growing in the south is for cattle feed.

I have to add my 2 cents. I grew up on a farm in Michigan. We had both dairy and beef cattle. We didn't have a silo, but we had a corn and oats mix ground into a powder we called chop. Only the dairy cows got the grain (chop). The beef cattle ate the grass in the pasture. When the buyer came around to buy the beef steers, my Dad would tell him he fed them grain regularly, to which the buyer told my Dad he was full of BS cuz those steers never saw a spec of grain (they didn't). The reason my Dad claimed they were fed grain was because the buyer paid more for grain fed beef. That's what makes me laugh now at all this "grass fed" craze. My Dad would have loved it, getting paid more for grass fed beef.

[BColella]

Publix has plenty and even has grass finished beef as well...

We lived in the country in TN until recently. I raised horses and my neighbors raise cows. About once a year we bought one of my neighbors cows. We then kept it in a pen and fed it hay (for fiber) and LOT of corn for about 3 weeks prior to slaughter. Best beef around if you ask me.
