Marketplace compared the fatty acid content of grass-fed vs feedlot beef:
www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/files/food/beef/test_results.html

Note that the omega-3 fatty content was the same in both samples tested.

beef however.  Saturated fat was also elevated in the feedlot beef.  Note
that neither group had antibiotic residues in the samples tested.
