Years back there was a big stink about Angus because of the marbling of the meat...

But, but, but,,, I've been here on the farm for 43 years,, and my husband has been here 65 years. When I have to purchase meat at the supermarket (when the meat in the freezer runs out before it's butchering time) I always select my steaks with plenty of marbling. I think it grills better.

I've read what they say about grass fed beef being better for you,,,, and I've tried it.... Perhaps it's an aquired taste. It seems tough and dry to me.

Have never tried grilling goat. Have you?

I really didn't like goat meat. I think its an acquired taste, but they make great salami. Once had Italian sausage made, but to make Italian sausage is an art form...my BIL’s father came from Sicily and his sausage was to die for. Our own raised beef, like raising your own meat chickens taste so much better...Our cow got grained once a day but pasture any time...

The marbling is where the flavor is, tasty good..

Pumpkin was a treat for her in the fall, once in a while I'd throw her a bale of alfalfa..usually that was only for the goats...

Of course you are correct about beef. I’m not a fan of feed lots or steriods. But give some of the corn feed, marbeled beef every time!
