I like grass-fed beef. I used to know a fellow who had a dairy farm, and when the cows got too old to produce well, they became beef. He gave me a lot, anytime I wanted some, which was often.
It definitely has a somewhat different taste than the grain-fed beef we buy in the grocery stores. I don't find it unpleasant at all, but I've heard that some people do. It's a bit stronger in flavor, but not nearly as strong as wild meat, such as venison.
I wasn't aware that there was a special butter from grass-fed cows. Every dairy cow I've ever seen, and there are many dairies in my area, spends most of it's life out feeding in the pasture. There are several different types of butters with much higher fat contents than those which are commonly available at the average grocery store or supermarket. Over on a site called Chef2Chef, there is a wonderful thread about different kinds of butter. I learned everything I ever wanted to know about butter, and then some!
