I am citing this again:
Loren Cordain on omega 6/omega 3 ratio
---"Data from our laboratory shows that the omega 6/omega 3 (N6/N3) ratio
for wild herbivore muscle tissue is between 3-4:1 whereas the lowest
N6/N3ratio occurs in the brain of wild herbivores and is about 1:1."

If the ratio in game meat is 3-4:1 how could it be 2:1 in grainfed cows?

See what feeding grains to salmon does (from USDA):
Wild atlantic salmon:
Linoleic acid (18:2/n6) Gms :    0.172     2.7%     3.5%
Linolenic acid(18:3/n3) Gms :    0.295    18.4%    24.6%
Farmed salmon (atlantic):
Linoleic acid (18:2/n6) Gms :    0.586     9.2%    12.0%
Linolenic acid(18:3/n3) Gms :    0.094     5.9%     7.8%

What is most intresting with this is the fact that this data is not
readily available to us so that we can get a good answer! It ought
to be easy to find for everyone, and also pronted on the food
packages in the shops.
