Same here. We had a nice local farm that sold all grass fed meat, HUGE selection. I didn't like it. I WANTED to like it.

For the most part, I prefer prime grade from Costco. That's my favorite.

This ranch sends the cattle to the mid west to 'finish' their beef. Very cool ranch. https://www.deseretranches.com/

That's because most grass fed meat are't "grass finished" meat. Big difference, which means many farms they let the cows eat grass occasionally but still fed them their corn meal. A real grass finished meat has very distinct flavor.

Not all grasses are the same.

I did not know much about different cattle breeds, and the marbling. All I knew was Kobe/Wagyu has the best marbling. But then I learned there is another breed from Europe called Charolais that also have marbling on par with Kobe or it is said

I heard of angus beef too, but I never knew why that prefix of Angus is significant. I cannot taste the difference. The supermarket and the restaurants dont tell you what type of breed their product is. I wish they did though. I wish supermarket labels had the breed listed. In all honesty, I also dont think Kobe/Wagyu is that great either. I dont taste the difference.

I do like cattle, they are beautiful and magnificent creatures and I fully understand why they are sacred in the Hindu religion.

The Sanctity of the cow, in Hinduism, is the belief that the cow is representative of divine and natural beneficence and should therefore be protected and venerated.

True because the soil they grown on don't have the same properties. Which is why cattle from other countries like in AU or Brazil taste different than here.

I've started eating only Sun-Fed (grass-fed and grass-finished) beef (if home-made) since I found out I was pregnant with my kid. When I was in Maui, I found Wagyu steaks (also grass-fed and grass-finished), it's way better than any steaks I've had (using the same seasonings). I also found aged prime-ribs very tasty and juicy.

The really expensive steak houses are serving a very well aged steak. You know, the kind of meat you can't buy for yourself and you have to go and shell out the huge price at their restaurant in order to get one of theirs.

You can buy yourself, you really have to shop on line or have a quality butcher shop available and be willing to pay.
