Pure Range Raised Beef

. . . But that could also mean you bought a steer at an auction, fed it alfalfa and no corn while you had it, and sold it as grass fed beef with the premium price.  Alfalfa can be genetically modified and highly pesticided.  You want cattle that have been raised on native grasses that have been untreated or tampered with from birth to butcher.  It has been said that corn finished cows have better marbling, but corn is not natural to a cows diet, their digestive system was built to break down grasses.  You want cattle that have never been fed any grain, corn or wheat.
