I grew up on grass-fed Black Angus grown on our farm. Totally grass fed, no corn used in “finishing”. Local butcher, hung just the right amount of time in our own cooler.

None of the beef today has ever equaled the taste - even the “grass-fed” I buy at the market. (little or no taste to me - very bland)

I guess it is what you are used to -

Best beef I ever had was from Hereford cattle that had been grazing on a field of grass and feral garlic.

Stunk up the freezer with garlic odors though- even the ice cream started to taste like garlic. But the beef was unbelievably good and I've never had its equal.
