I agree that grass fed and finished is the gold standard, but cows and other ruminant animals, unlike chickens and pigs, convert PUFA into Saturated Fat in their rumen, so they stay pretty close to that ancestral PUFA level of 2-3%. I say this because some of us (especially those with families) have trouble affording grass fed/finished. It is much, much better to have grain fed beef, than chicken or pork, which can have levels of PUFA of 12-25%, which is devastating to our health
