Does grain finishing get grass-fed-tasting compounds out of the meat?

Probably. I can only cop to having read about it some. One of the big goals is to increase the fat content of the meat.

I'm sure it tastes better and in small doses is probably fine. If the cow is eating enough corn to get sick then you have obviously made a huge mistake.
