If you are eating at fast food restaurants or buying frozen patties you are eating mostly cull dairy cows. If there is fat and marbling that is grain fed. Grass fed beef is tough and stringy. Very lean no fat.

We raise a few steers for our own beef here in South Gippsland (Australia) and they are entirely grass fed from the time they are weaned. I can assure you that the meat is not at all tough or stringy! Most supermarket beef in Australia is grain finished, and I was once told by a local beef farmer that it is to make the fat whiter, as this is what the market wants. Our home grown beef is certainly as tasty and tender as anything I have bought from a supermarket, or even from up-market butchers and restaurants, and our dinner guests agree.
