I read a lot of notes about “grass fed” beef. In my country, all beef is grass fed but most is finished with grain. So here, how beef is finished is important. I buy “grass finished” beef from a local rancher. When a package says grass fed in the grocery store, it’s just a marketing ploy. Is it just that the terminology in other countries is different?
In some places grass fed means the cattle graze the way they should instead of being fed a 'feed' which can contain things that aren't good for them
Yes, but all cows eat grass. It’s how they are finished that matters. You can’t raise a cow from calf to slaughter without it eating grass.
Look at how the different grades of Kobe cows are raised.
Sorry, I may be misunderstanding , but still doesn’t answer my question?
When someone buys grass fed beef in Korea or Japan or the US, does it mean that it’s grass finished?
From what I understand, they feed them grains if it's not grass-fed. They weren't grazing.
Here, grass fed only means it’s been fed grass. All beef eats grass but some are brought into feed lots to be finished with “feed”. This still called and packaged as “grass fed”. If want to buy beef that has only eaten grass, you have to buy “grass finished” beef. Is it the same elsewhere?
Yes, grass fed doesn't indicate it's grass finished.
But grass fed is not the norm here. Anything that doesn't say grass fed is grain fed. That's my understanding.
Which country are you in?
