1. Não
2. Its all based solely on taste. That "taste" is the overwhelming umami taste of high caloric fatty foods. after millions of years of basically scavenging for food, the human brain still gets allllll excited when it finds high caloric food. lights up the limbic system like crazy, and then the brain starts to connect that certain food as a pleasurable, worthwhile, and necessary requirement.... an addiction.
3. The part that blows my mind is this.... PRIME BEEF. what a scam! its worse for you! and you pay more! Thats like paying more for a car with no seat belts.
4. Corn has a HEAVY uptake of nitrogen from the soil. Thats fact. its nitrogen depleting like the cotton bush. Artificial nitrogen would solve the problem, but its inorganic not natural. All that being said, COWS ARE FUCKING THE ECOSYSTEM. Eat salad, lose some lbs, stand up and go enjoy this planet while its overwhelmingly habitable. When the climate wars come, $5 says they dont come fighting to live in cow country.
5. grass fed = real beef and better tasting beef.
6. There are studies that show that corn is not healthy for the cow, the reason for this is they have they have evolved to eat grass not corn....one the reasons the cattle industry uses corn is because its heavily subsidized by our tax dollars...thus their production are lower
7. knowledgeable and inspiring videos!
8. wet corn is really cheap food for cattle, i use it in my farm in iran.
9. No thank you.
10. where's the grass and open fields?? this looks like cow hell!
11. Pip, if you knew anything about agriculture; you would then know that high nitrate concentrations in forage crops will kill cows, almost immediately. If your analogy were true, then there would be very few cattle that ever made it to processing. Get your facts straight before you start running your mouth.
12. Por una vez voy a ir a favor del gobierno de Nebraska, seguir alimentando con transgenicos todo el ganado que os apetezca que muy pronto quedareis la mitad de la población luego iremos los europeos importando y cultivando esos ibridos los cuales nos matarán al resto del mundo, muchas gracias monsanto que generoso eres, roquefeler deberias probar tu tambien el maiz, que seguro que duras otros 90 años hp.
13. yes Mr. rakerman102 has no idea what he's talking about and so he blithers a bunch of bull crap that he heard someone else say one day. any intelligent feedlot manager will have his animals on a well managed diet so that they don't get acidosis which is what happens to a cow if she eats to much corn. and if a cow does get acidosis its a pretty easy fix all you do is change her diet. the cost of corn fed beef is the corn which is what help the beef have the flavor we all love. research it :)
14. Can you please expound for the public what exactly is do dumb about the above comment?
15. can you really be as dumb as you sound? 
16. The point of backgrounding is to introduce different feedstuffs to the calves (usually steer calves - heifers remain on pasture). However, the main portion of their diet is still forage (grass, hay, etc) Because they are ruminants, they are always fed forage. Just as humans who need vitamins & nutrients, they are fed high-quality feed, like corn, sorghum, wheat, soy or co-products (which are even higher in protein value) besides just forage. At 12-18 months, they go to a feedlot. 
17. I grew up on a cow/calf ranch and know exactly what they consume. I have visited several feedyards where cattle are fed out and they have a nutritionist to calculates their rations better than people do their own. Can I ask where you get your information? Also, nitrates are a naturally occurring form of nitrogen that plant roots take up from the soil - it is certainly not poison! Farmers test their cornstalk bales for nitrates and if there are too many, it is not fed to cattle. 
18. Consumer’s have a choice with what they eat. When it comes to beef, most consumers tell us that taste is their highest priority. However, consumers’ lifestyles and budgets have changed over time and beef production has evolved to meet those needs. Their is corn- or grain-finished, grass-fed or grass-finished, certified organic and natural beef products. While each kind of beef offers something different, it's all safe, wholesome & nutritious. Grass & corn fed beef are no different nutritionally.
19. Most people typically don't know that all cattle spend the majority of their lives eating grass in pastures. Calves start grazing at a young age and are kept on pasture after they are weaned until 12-18 months of age. Then, they are taken to a feedlot or are kept on grass to become “grass-finished”. In N. America it’s difficult to produce grass-finished beef in large due to limited growing seasons. That’s why most grass-finished beef is imported from Australia and NZ where grass grows all year.
