Not able to access the article but I understand that Dexter Beef got a mention and an award in a world wide steak competition?

The 11 gold medal-winning steaks are:
Australia
World’s Best Steak – Jack’s Creek Wagyu Angus cross, 450 days grain fed, entered by Albers GMBH.
Though it is a very confusing article, as it seem contradictory, especially given that it wasn't a grass fed steak that won, and neither was the Dexter;England
Flat Iron Farm, Thirsk, Yorkshire – 46 months Pure Bred Dexter, raised for three summers on grass then barley, sugar wheat silage. Entered by Flat Iron, Soho.
The fat came in for special attention, both the amount of marbling (the meat cognoscenti do love a bit of marbling, as the fat carries flavour) and the cap of fat along the steak. “Yellow fat indicates a grass-fed animal,” Franck Ribière told me. “The colour is from the betacarotene from the grass.” Corn-fed beef, it turns out, has whiter fat. Which is better? Well, health and sustainability issues aside – grass-fed meat wins on both these criteria – the judges agreed that both can taste excellent.
