The only way to answer this question is to define conventional beef.
1.) Unrestricted and unlimited use of antibiotics
2.) Confinement in crowded, dangerous feedlots
3.) Castration, dehorning, deworming, use of growth promotants, feed additives, hysterectomies
4.) Large packers use chemicals to "clean" eviscerated carcasses that are contaminated with intestinal contents from the automated evisceration (de-hiding) machines operated at rapt speed.
5.) Conventional beef is wet-aged versus dry-aged resulting in 10-12% more moisture per ounce.
6.) Pigment fixatives are used in the packaging to make it appear fresher.
