I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic of late and even watched a video by some butcher brothers comparing the two. Nearly everyone seems to think grass fed beef is the best, even the two butcher brothers, who said grass fed beef has a stronger beef taste than corn fed, whatever that means. I vehemently disagree. Corn fed beef, the kind you find in Iowa, is most definitely better than any beef you find outside Iowa. Move away from Iowa and you'll see what I mean. We get free range or grass fed beef from Texas where I live and it is stringy, tough and nearly inedible at times depending on the cut you get. I long for good old well-marbled Iowa beef. Corn fed beef is more fatty and fat is where the flavor is in most meat cuts. Am I wrong here? Grass fed cuts are smaller, mostly because they don't have the marbling that corn fed beef has.
Anyway, I just wondered if I'm alone in thinking corn fed beef is far superior to grass fed because most of the discussion I've seen says just the opposite.
