Something that's different about Alberta Beef which contributes to the taste, as well as the fact that the meat is much better and less fatty.. Most beef cattle are fed fodder and crap.. growth hormones and shit. Alberta beef are fed on a grass called "prairie scrub". It's an extremely hardy and dry grass that is so packed with nutrients the animals often don't need to be supplimented. It accounts for over half the taste alone, let alone the lack of excess fat. Grain/fodder fed cattle are more likely to pick up things like mad cow as well, because it can actually be in their food.
How do I know all this? I come from a long line of Alberta cattle ranchers. I have relatives out there now still that have tens of thousands of head. Not a single one of them ever had a problem with mad cow, but they don't feed their cattle processed garbage, either.
