grassfed beef is the best way to go from the standpoint of animal welfare. Grain feed beef are almost always feedlotted and kept in tiny paddocks with dozens upon dozens of other cattle in with them, in some pretty harsh conditions - nothing that would violate any laws as feedlots are perfectly legal - but overall the health and condition of the animal is better from a grassfed POV. Grassfed meat has a different taste to grain fed too. We feed our sheep a combination of grass, grain and hay and it turns out beautiful meat sheep that taste fantastic straight off the hooks.
IMO the 'premium grain fed beef' is just a bull**** rip off as it costs so much more $$ to buy the grain to pour down their necks, even in a feedlot situation, therefore it costs a whole lot more for buyers to purchase it, and that cost is passed onto the consumer with the tag of it being premium and therefore more desirable, but that's just to make you think you are getting something better when really you aren't kwim?
Methane production would be similar and the grassfed beef would be more ethical and less stress placed on the animal
Pasture fed. IMO it tasted better than the feelot beef as well as being a more natural way to raise a cow.
I don't like the idea of grain that can feed people being fed to feedlot cows but I'm cool if they've just been eating grass because people can't really eat grass and there is a lot of land that is totallt unsuitable for cropping.
happy cow= better meat IMO
same goes for eggs..free range will always taste better than cage
like Wagyu beef...those cows are treated like royalty and the meat tastes amazing!
Meat ...
