1) Yes. 2) Sometimes fat content. Not a major concern. 3) Grain-Fed unless Grass-Fed is on sale. 4) Price. 5) Cost yes, because for the amount of beef needed to be consumed, Grass-Fed is fairly expensive and I can replace Grain-Fed Fat with a Grass-Fed Butter. Cheaper alternative. 6) With unlimited resources out there from well known and smart individuals, I'd say my current knowledge is only a click away.7) Do farms have a plan for cold harsh months where grass is unavailable. If so, what. 8) Is there a plan for animals being fed grains, to be almost as healthy as being fed grass. 9) High School and Life. 10) N/A
First off, I'm very interested to read through these! I don't have much knowledge on grass fed since its just one of those things I haven't had a chance to research yet, and I'm all for gleaning as much as I can. So having everyone fill one of these out kind of help the knowledge spread.
1. Do you consume beef products (i.e. Red Meat, Milk, Butter) Yes2. What are the particular aspects of beef products you look for when purchasing (i.e. fat content, source, brand, etc)?Fat content, if I purchase grass fed I want a high fat content, if I purchase grain fed I look for a very low fat content and add my own fats.3. When purchasing beef products, do you purchase grass-fed or standard grain-fed products? Both, typically 50/504. Why? I haven't researched grass-fed vs grain fed yet myself, just going off the knowledge I've picked up from other people and have yet to be scared away from grain fed, though I know grass fed to be a superior product.5. Is cost a limiting factor in your decision of which type of product to purchase? If so, why? Yes, because I grew up all my live as a penny pincher, and spending twice as much for grass fed? Really puts pressure on my stingy background. I live my life with the mantra "we don't have money." Even when we do. Just the way I was raised.6. What is your current knowledge on the different characteristics of Grass-Fed and Grain-Fed Products? Not too much to be honest. I know grass fed butter sure tastes better! I will only use grain fed in baking, not cooking or on my scones. Grain fed tastes watery to me. I also am aware that grass-fed is much better for your body since the animal is being fed what it naturally would eat if there were wild cows roaming the prairies.7. What (if anything) would you like to know more about of grass-fed products? Everything, eventually.8. What (if anything) would you like to know more about of grain-fed products? See above.9. What is your educational background? Some college10. What is your occupational background? Alaskan salmon seiner, retail, property manager.

The cost is so much higher that it makes grass fed beef a treat instead of a staple6. What is your current knowledge on the different characteristics of Grass-Fed and Grain-Fed Products? I know about the better fatty acid profile and the effects of cows eating their proper diet versus that they get in a commercialized facility7.

1. Yes, all 3.2. Grass-fed, raw with milk, local.3. Grass-fed 80% of the time, grain fed when needed (I don't buy milk or butter from grain fed source)4. As cost allow I prefer grass-fed for the health benefit and taste5. Changing income based on flow of clientele means sometimes other things must take priority. 6. Improved fatty acid profile, in most cases it's farm more responsibly and is more sustainable. 7/8. If a isocaloric diet in which 80% of the protein and fat came from red meat, would there be any body comp. differences. 9. Massage therapists, body worker, Postural therapist, make-up artist10. See above.
