    Between the venison, beef, and mulberries you just need to move to Iowa.

    Grass fed beef is just a new marketing ploy to raise beef prices. All beef used to be grass fed. They were range animals, which made the beef stringy. Corn fed beef replaced them because they could bring the feed to the steer so the beef was more tender ( less muscle since they didn't move around). Now with the organic push they are back to grass fed. They may only feed them hay, but its no better than feeding them organic corn without the steroids. The major difference is that grass usually ends up on the ground where the steer walks on it, deficates on it, urinates on it, and then eats it. Check out what really goes on in feed lots before you decide how healthy grass fed beef really is.

    I don't want to misrepresent my intentions...it's not for health reasons, it's Bc it is delicious! I'm lucky I live alone and don't have kids BC what I spend on groceries is unreal. I'm a total food lover. On the inside I'm a 400 pound chick. :( Fat Eli Rules!

    C'mon now. I've never seen a cow wandering the fields chowin' down on a corn cob, they always bend over and eat grass.

    All grass fed beef is fed corn/grains to fatten them up and make them tender. Cows raised on 100% grass are not tender. It is more of a marketing term, because corn feed beef is mostly fed grass.

    Grass fed is supposed to be more environmentally friendly, but there is no real difference other than grass fed down plays the corn part of their diet, or ignores it all together.

    Organic certified will make sure your beef was not fed gmo corn/grains. No such thing as gmo grass (not yet), but the grass can be certified organic.
