I think I've addressed this before, but it is the smaller population density of grass-fed cattle compared to those in feed lots that contributes to the decreased occurrence of human pathogens in cattle. Feed type is irrelevant, but the proximity between animals is the driving force of the spread of a bacterial population amongst a herd of cows.
