I live in south Alabama. My father in law has cows and usually sells them at market and then they are shipped out west where they are fattened up and fed whatever they feed them to make the beef taste good. Well, he had this one cow that no matter what he did, kept getting out of the fence. So he got tired of chasing her, and killed her and took her to the butcher. Now I have a couple of cases of hamburger meat in my freezer.
My concern is that since this cow was only pasture fed (not fattened up and fed with hormones) that the meat wont taste as good as the supermarket beef. Can I simply mix it with supermarket beef, or what else can I do to make it taste better?

There is nothing wrong with pasture fed beef. It should taste much better than any ground beef from the store, since it's probably much fresher. My dad used to raise a beef just for butchering and it was excellent.

Have you tasted the meat? It should be great and not fatty. Try it first then decide if you need to add anything to it. It might taste so good that you will never want to buy store bought meat again. After all our ancestors never sent their meat anywhere nor do most cow farmers who raise beef cattle and butcher their own. Give it a chance you might like it.
