Grain fed - CAFO's are terrible, but is some grain all bad? Cattle cannot help but eat some seeds in natural grazing. How much is too much?

Did you know? Deep Creek spends tens of thousands of dollars every year as back up buyer for youngsters in 4-H steer and lamb programs. We "spread the net" so that these fine young people will receive the best possible price, above market, for the animal they hand raised. Because these animals have been fed some grain, we do not market them as grass fed. We do offer them at first as grain-supplemented, and after sixty days, as grass-finished. We believe that the chemistry in steers is altered by diet just as diet alters human body chemistry. There is a great deal of literature about the changes humans experience with a change in diet, but not so much about cattle. We'd like to explore these issues, and if any of you have some special skills in this arena, please contact us. Thank you!
