    I used to live in Argentina, everything there is grass fed, and delicious.

    I've been disapointed by steak anywhere else in the world though.

    So you obviously have not eaten Welsh Black beef, or Aberdeen Angus then ?

    Or to take it a step further Kobe beef ?

    I haven't had Welsh Black or Aberdeen Angus but I have had Kobe and honeslty, I was unimpressed. Oh, it was good but not $75 a pound good. The value vs. the price was just not appealing to me. I was on a corporate expense account dinner so it wan't my dime but I've never felt the desire to repeat the experience in the 12 years since.

    Would never dream of eating/serving Kobe beef as its way out of my price range but its considered to be the best in catering circles ? and to say you were unimpressed is a tad ott especially if you were on a freebie

    Welsh Black is what i serve in my restaurant, Aberdeen Angus is considered to be the best but I put Welsh Black on par if not better, especially Pedigree Welsh Black which i have been selling now for 15+yrs

    And just for the grass fed followers pedigree Welsh Black Beef is raised on the grass lands of Welsh Mountains no grain :bigsmile:

    Kobe beef, yes, it's good, but I prefer Argentine steak still. I have not had any Australian beef though I heard it comes very close.

    Australian ?:noway: different part of the world.......... WALES,,,,,,,,Welsh black SCOTLAND .......Aberdeen Angus

    They say they are grass fed and grass finished and I like the idea that they will send me a free sample to try before I buy.

    thank you all for your great imput, I think it is worth a shot!

    ummm call me insane, or raised in the country, but all cows are fed on grass....or is that just here...I know in the really bad winter they sometimes supplement them with silage, but that is grass...I buy local meat, as it has low food miles, and I know where it comes from, but am a bit bewildered about this whole non grass fed thing....

    You poor, lucky country bumpkin.

    Here is a VERY mild, non-offensive overview:

    If you really want to know how most cows are treated nowadays, try Googling "industrial beef".

    I go to school where all the restaurants serve grass fed beef and it's much lighter on the stomach. It's way better than the other crap.

    It's expensive where I live, so I only can afford the local, grass-fed ground beef which is FAR superior to what is sold in stores. I noticed there are no mystery chewy balls and it seems much leaner, there is little to drain but it isn't dry and crumbly, it stays moist.

    I've cut back on red meat tremendously, but when I do eat beef I buy grass fed beef and it does taste 'beefier' in my opinion, I can't describe it, but for some reason I want to say 'cleaner' , leaner and more natural tasting. It's alot healthier too. It's yummy. (My Poodles eat grass fed ground beef too!). :laugh:
