Yes. Because grass-fed cattle have been finished on grass, which has a lower energy or lipid content than grain, typically they would have less fat than those finished on grain, and thus a more desirable or lower fat:muscle ratio.

Witch is better Grass-fed vs Grain fed Beef?
WHICH is better: Grass-fed or Grain-fed Beef? Answer: it all depends on your taste buds and your health choices. Grass-fed beef is healthier than grain-fed because of higher vitamin and other nutrients in the meat, which is transferred from the nutrition quality of the grasses they ate. Grass-fed is slightly higher in omega-3's than grain-fed, or in other words, has a better balance of omega-3's and omega-6's than grain fed beef. Grass-fed is also leaner, less "juicier" and has a stronger beefy taste to it than grain-fed, which makes for cooking, baking or barbequing it different than the conventional grain-fed beef. All grass-fed beef comes from organic or natural producers, which means that there are no antibiotic residues nor excessive hormones in the meat, since cattle finished on grass are much healthier and do not need to have antibiotics put into their food to keep them "healthy" until they are ready to be slaughtered. The colour of the fat in grass-fed beef is different too, because of the caretonoids (sp??) in the leaves of the grasses make the fat a yellower colour. Caretonoids are found in all fruit and vegetables; it's just a chemical complex that makes the plants, fruits and vegetables the variety of colours they are. Yellow fat is healthier fat than white fat, because of the lower saturated fatty acids and higher unsaturated fats in that yellow fat, which is a common misconception by those who think that white fat "looks better" in their beef than yellow fat. Grain-fed beef is nearly the opposite of grass-fed, in all parts of the word. Grain fed is more popular, found in all conventional stores and fast food diners, and is more tender and juicier than wild meat or grass-fed beef. Some people prefer grain-fed beef because it is not as tough or wild-tasting as grass fed is; others prefer grass-fed because of the taste and the health benefits.

Is it healthier to consume grass fed beef versus non grass fed beef?
Yes, grass-fed beef is healthier to consume. This is because it is much more balanced in omega fats (more Omega-3's than Omega-6's) and is lower in HDL and saturated fatty acids, which are "bad fats." Grass-fed beef is also much higher in CLA's than grain-fed. It also tends to taste better than grain-fed (like, it's not like eating cardboard, but real beef) and does not contain traces of antibiotics and hormones because cattle finished on grass are healthier: they don't need hormones and antibiotics to "help" them reach finish quality.
What is the difference between bison meat and beef?
Bison meat is leaner and better for you than cow meat. It's also much dryer. I'm not sure why this is but it does have a good flavor. A good bison burger can be found at the Native American Museum in Washington, D.C. Beef can be lean as well, especially if it's from cattle grazed on grass. However, it is still not as lean as that from bison. It has a stronger taste than beef, and is healthier because it is more leaner. The "drier" part is merely from the way it's cooked; it shouldn't be cooked like beef, but rather much slower and longer than you would with beef.
Is beef bad for you?
Beef is actually not bad for you. However it can be if that's all you eat, but if you have it along with vegetables and maybe a little bit of non-refined or whole-grain grain-product, it's perfectly healthy for you.
Is grass-finished beef healthier than grain-finished beef?
AnswerAccording to this website, the taste test of grain-fed beef versus grass-fed beef leaned in favor of the fully foraging cows."In the past we believed that beef needed at least 45 days of grain feeding to achieve proper marbling. Most cattle are routinely fed between 100-200 days in a dry lot environment with no access to the natural forage diet. In 1996 we participated in a taste test at the University of Missouri's Forage Systems Research Centre near Linneus, Missouri. There were five selections: 1) Beef finished on 100% confinement full grain diet, 2) Beef finished on a 75% grain, 25% forage diet, 3) Beef finished on a 50% grain, 50% forage diet, 4) Beef finished on a 25% grain, 75% forage diet, and 5) Beef finished on a 100% forage diet."Grain-fed beef would contain less nutrients, since the grain must be processed, therefore taking portions of the energy out of it. However, since the cows are directly eating the grass, the nutrients would all be preserved and given directly to the cow.

What is beef cattle like today?
Beef cattle are more productive than they were 100 or 200 years ago. They reach puberty at a much younger age as well as are ready to slaughter at a much younger age than they were in the 1800's. They are readily better converters at grain and grass, depending on what they are selected for (more producers are selecting for cows that gain faster on grass over grain), and larger in body size than they were 100 or 200 years ago.
