According 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.

Is bison healthy for you?
Compared to beef, bison meat is significantly lower in fat, so is therefore much healthier for you than beef. Since bison meat is generally from bison farms at which the bison are grass-fed and roam freely, their meat is healthier for the environment than beef (less green-house gas emissions, etc.). Bison and beef are very hard to distinguish between in regard to taste.
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.
Is bison meat cheaper than ground beef?
Definately not, bison is often $2-5 more per pound than the equivalent extra lean ground beef. However the health benefits gained with bison are well worth the money, bison is signifigantly leaner than beef, lower in calories, cholesterol and contains more minerals than beef. Surprisingly extra lean ground bison is even healthier and lower in calories/fat/cholesterol than skinless chicken breasts. I substitute ground beef with bison in all my dishes and most people cannot even tell a taste difference and are very surprised when I tell them how much healthier it is comparitevly.
