Beef cattle are usually grazed in pastures, fields or native rangelands. The type of country varies their grazing diet, and they are usually brought in to paddocks in feedlots for fattening up on grains prior to being sold for slaughter. In Japan, cattle are hand fed in stalls and regularly massaged by their owners in order to produce the most expensive and arguably best beef in the world which is called Kobe beef.
No. If grass-fed cattle got any grain, they wouldn't be grass-fed then. Grass-fed beef comes from cattle that are finished on grass only, with absolutely NO grain.

Kobe beef is a type of beef that has originated in Japan. Cattle are fed very high amounts of grain and other high concentrates, which makes the beef much higher in fat and marbling than the American and Canadian grain-fed cattle. Kobe beef is very tender and juicy, and a delicacy in Japan.

The feeding of grain to cattle is unique to the United States. Americans and an increasing number of international consumers have developed a taste for American grain-fed beef, as opposed to beef cattle fattened on grass only.
The benefits of eating grass fed beef is more than just taste. There is also a health factor to it. Typically, grass fed cattle are not fed growth hormones, or antibiotics, making them much healthier for human consumption.
Grass-fed beef is simply beef that comes from cattle that were finished on high-quality grass, not grain. In other words, they were on pasture instead of a feedlot, and once they reached a desirable body condition and weight, they were gathered, trailered and sent to a slaughter plant that processes natural or grass-fed beef.
