You are not alone. Almost everyone I know agrees with you. If the fat taste and tender texture is what you like in beef, corn fed, feedlot fattened beef is for you. If it is the beef (blood) taste you like, grass fed (never cooked beyond medium rare) is far superior. I cut every bit of visible fat off all my beef anyway, and I've got good teeth for chewing the less than melt-in-your-mouth grass fed So. American beef. I happen to prefer Brazilian to Argentine, but either is vastly more tasty to me than feedlot beef.
