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.

Ahh, OK. Must either be the different breed or different grass. I've had US grass fed beef, even raised some in my youth. I've had equal, a Charlet I raised, but not better than Brazilian.

I prefer Australian/NZ beef or actually meat in general to all others.
Oh, and I only like cherry-red, lean beef and none of that wagyu garbage that doesn't qualify as beef anyway.
With regards to US beef, it's probably good but I won't touch anything that's hormone fed. Do they label them differently so that the consumer knows?

Speaking of beef, the best baby back ribs is that famous full rack of B.B.Q Ribs @ Bobby V's.
might not be the best but it's heavenly!

I'll take a prime steak from Lobels
www.lobels.com
I have had great steaks in Argentina, Japan, etc. Nothing beats the steaks from Lobels in terms of flavor. IMHO, best steaks in the world.

I'm a huge fan of grass fed. Not quite as tender as grain fed but better flavor in my experience as well as healthier. I'm very partial to Australian grass fed beef.
