If you want to have butter fat and butter taste but be a bit closer to
paleo WOE you may try ghee. It's clarified butter (meaning almost all
protein is removed, leaving just the fat). Bread and Circus sells an
organic brand. As an added bonus it does not require refrigeration (at
least till it's opened). Actually, I assume it doesn't since it's not
refrigerated in the store.

It's possible that ALL beef there is grass fed. Bread and Circus only
carries grass fed beef, and they have been bought by Whole Foods a little
while back. Ask them in the meat department about this.
