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

Here is the article.

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.

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.

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;

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.
