Beef that comes from lotfed industrial cattle have different fat profiles, meaning less omega-3 and more omega6, which fuels inflammation.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

on the science about it I'd say that the biggest important phase for your health in terms of a cow's life is the final 30 days of their life so when animals are fed on grass their whole lives and then just finished on grain it takes like less than 10 days of a grain raishin to make a very significant change in their omega 3 to 6 ratio
if you look at what happens to a cow when you grain finish it right you're putting it on a concentrated load of you know starch basically carp carbohydrates other than the indigestible fiber carbohydrates that they're supposed to be eating and also they're using corn and they're using you know soybean isolates they're getting them a lot more omega-6 fats and it does shift the omega-6 balance in their tissue and it also makes the tissues I mean if you go to the supermarket and you take a grain finished piece of steak and you look at it next to a grass-fed piece of steak the same cut the grain the grain fed one is inflamed it's bright red and the grass-fred one is kind of a dark red right
