Robert,
I would have to check with my meat processor to see what the different
aging times are
for conventioanl beef vs. our own grass fed beef. My processor raises bison
so I know
he is experinced in processing lean meats since bison is very lean. I would
say that it
is hung generally around 10 days. My understanding and experience that the
fat content
is not what determines tenderness although fat may add a different flavor.
Our
customers buy our beef specifically because the grass fed beef's fat is not a
dietary
liability as in corn fed beef.
It is entirely possible to have grass fed, tender beef. If you're ever in
the area
you can stop by and have a steak : )
Sue
