Re: Re: Grass FED Meat being fattened on grain later

[Guest guest]

Hey guys,

The problem with grain feeding the last two months before slaughter is that it

changes the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio...ruining it and making it not balanced the

way we want it! You see it increases the fat or marbling of the meat (with

fat)...making it taste " good " ...or so we think it is " good " . I know this

because my father in law use to be a rancher. If you want true omega 3/omega 6

ratio...the animal CAN NOT BE FATTENED ON GRAIN, nor eat grain EVER. This is the

problem we had looking for " good " meat high in omega 3'a....found some grass fed

buffalo that they don't do this to....we think it tastes great ( a little

different...... but since it is healthier will make the change!).

I was looking into this myself. It has a better Omega 3 to Omega 6

ratio, so is considered healthier. But I have also heard it can be very

hard to get a good tasting grassfed meat.
