I'm only making these comments because I've seen several posts here
that make me
think several paleo eating enthusiasts think most commercial cattle are
fed
nothing but grain.  That just isn't true.
The grain is a side dressing to hay or grass type food, usually offered
during
the "finishing" period that most commercial beef undergoes

I don't know much about cattle ranching, but I work with a lady who lives on a ranch.  I asked her a long time ago what she feeds her cattle - grass.  Now, they don't raise these cows and then slaughter them, they raise them and then sell them to dairies, slaughterhouses or as studs.  However, I found it VERY interesting that she told me that they feed their cattle nothing but hay and let them graze on grass because it's CHEAPER than grain.
