Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

The best steaks I ever eaten were in the USA and all the beef will be corn fed over there this grass fed being better is just a marketing gimmick

Sure it wasnt imported grass fed NZ angus? I thought the meat i had out there pork and beef was like jelly, way too tender.

There’s a butcher up your way buys limmys out of St Boswells every week she is doing very well with them. The lass that buys them buys limmys of the same farm most weeks certainly knows her stuff.

It would have been graded on eating quality though, not a grid to tell you how big its arse is. I'm no expert on the topic but I believe that grass-fed meat is higher in various nutrients.

I suspect there's a bit of fidgeting going on. Yesterday's (for next week) 440, maybe 442, became 445 by end of the day. Might be badly out of date by now.

I do wonder if the faster fed beast killed at 14 months for example provide chewy tasteless beef? Exactly what supermarkets ask for at times. The main stand out difference between natives and continentals is the growing and finishing times. Makes you think if it’s really as simple as that.

If cattle are put through a store period they get more grisle , younger cattle have smaller bones so a higher saleable meat yield % per carcass,smaller joints etc,less trim and tenderness , which why small butchers prefer young small smart well/fed fleshed continental heifers and spring lambs .
