You are misinformed. I regularly eat our retired dairy cows. They taste absolutely excellent, but they were raised on pasture and ate top quality feed.

Dairy cows from commercial confinement dairies are a different matter. They eat almost exclusively grain and develop horrible health problems.

Yet the same can be said of any meat produced in a CAFO, when compared to that produced on most small farms. Garbage in, garbage out.
