Oh, and there's that little thing about their low-stress treatment too.
When I was in Asia, beef was quite often air flown New Zealand beef and I mostly had tough meet. Here, I have had some meat where I swear they substituted with shoe leather. Not very often though. I would say that on the whole, the corn fed beef out of the feedlots have been good for the most part.

What would change in that case?
