Meat which is advertized as grass-fed is not supposed to have been fed any 
grain. Grain fed meats would technically not classify as Paleo, since the 
wild ancestors of cattle (such as the aurochs) ate mainly grass with 
little or no grain, and certainly not processed feed. However, Dr. Loren 
Cordain says that lean cuts of grain-fed meats are OK to eat, and Ray 
Audette doesn't restrict himself to lean cuts.
