[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1264147, member: 23321"] *Grain finished not grass. As in oats, or more so barley. Easy enough to do your own test, Pull 2 identical american animals and feed one corn and one barley - cook em the same, and blind taste test em. I'd almost bet you'd pick the barley fed animal, even with your tastes being used to corn finished. Corn is cheap and grows cows no doubt about it, but how often is something cheap and the best? And 'not anywhere near as good as corn fed american beef' is absurd. Some guys finished on corn up here, the genetics are largely the same, you think an imaginary line defines the taste of an animal? Plus a large % of our animals end up south of that line get finished and then eaten by you anyways, at what point did they start to taste better? when they crossed that line, or ate the magic corn? And while we're at it: [url=http://www.canadabeef.ca/us/en/quality/Standards/default.aspx]http://www.canadabeef.ca/us/en/quality/ ... fault.aspx[/url] [/QUOTE]
