Grass fed vs. Grain fed

[donrad]

"Any grain feeding will skew the fatty acid profile of the ruminant animal dramatically.  Rather than talk to people set in their ways, why not talk to farmers about it?  That's what I do.  They know a whole lot more about animal health than people who buy cuts wrapped in plastic."

You are so right ;;;;

Can anyone comment on the taste and texture of grain v's grass fed? Within my short experience with grassfed I am finding that the organic meat I get from the supermarket and one organic butcher both have a 'rubbery' texture and a slightly sour taste. But my preferred organic butcher who says his meat is grassfed definitely has more appetising meat. It has a nice dark burgandy colour, is not sour, and has a better texture (not 'rubbery' at all). Has anyone else noticed a difference? The only other thing I can suspect as making the difference is that the meat from the supermarket and the first butcher has been frozen. I am going to do an experiment this weekend and freeze some of the meat from my preferred butcher and do a taste test.
