The grass fed stuff, however, is a good 25% more expensive straight up, and there's less of it around which raises the price during droughts. Honestly, I can't taste the difference unless theres also a fat content variable, but I'd rather not eat the corny beef as it does not contribute to the subsidy sham. Grass fed farmers have a hard scrabble and are highly vulnerable to weather fluctuations, and I'm more than happy to support them because they are the real farmers, not jimmy the corn king.
Those prices are for prepackaged in a supermarket. Can get whole rump for $15kg from a butcher ($5 a pound)
