Much like humans weren't meant to ever eat grains, neither were cows and other grazing animals. There is plenty of information out there, that grain fed cows are less nutritious (grass fed will be richer in Omega 3 fatty acids, have more vitamins, and more 'good' cholesterol). Not to mention the ethical issues of how grain fed animals are treated. I don't know about you, but I will never, ever become a vegetarian. But I do see a point from
some vegetarians, that some animals are treated poorly to be raised as livestock for us to eat. Grain fed cows, who spend their lives sitting in cages being stuffed with unhealthy grains and starches to fatten up, are a sad case indeed. I have nothing against killing an animal to eat it, but I at least don't want it to be tortured for its entire life until then.
Here's some quick info on the subject. Do some googling, there is tons of information out there. Buy grass fed if you can!
