Go 100% grass-fed beef. There is no need to send the steers to the food lot, except to make more money for the rancher.

Cattle are not supposed to eat corn (actually a fruit, not a grain). It's not good for the cattle's health (but at that stage it doesn't matter) and the meat is not as good for us.

After eating corn the meat has more omega 6 fat and less omega 3 - we humans eat too much 6 and not enough 3. Plus grass-fed beef has CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) which helps us lose weight, corn fed beef does not.

And when the propagandists tell us how bad beef is for the environment, they are factoring in the zillions of acres of GMO, over-fertilized, over watered, over herbicided corn needed for the feed lots.

Resist the propaganda and expose it every appropriate chance you get. Growing crops on prairie land is much worse for the environment than letting cows graze on it. The culprit is the corn, and it's easy to avoid if you choose 100% grass-fed beef.
