It's true that modern domestic beef cattle, descendents of the
pleistocene auroch, get up to full size and fully marbled fattiness in
record-breaking time in the feedlot. However, grass-only farmers get
them there as well. It just takes an extra year or two. The feedlot diet
throws off the n6:n3 ratio somewhat, but there is plenty of saturated
fat either way.
