Regardless of what can legally be labeled as grass raised,
when I refer to grass raised beef, I am referring to beef that
was not fed grain. When I refer to grain fed beef, I will then be
referring to beef that was fed grain. This of course will be too
complex for your feeble mind to comprehend, but that's the
way it is regardless of your comprehension disability.
