[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 358830, member: 3333"] lead dog---from the voice of experience: If you have TENDER beef, you will only have to capture that customer ONE TIME....and that customer will be your absolutely best advertising source. All the advice we have received about "rates of gain", etc are totally useless if the beef is NOT TENDER at the end. It is not important to us if the steer gains 1.5 lbs per day versus 1.75 or 2 lbs per day.....that kind of thing does matter to the folks that are in the commodity chain of production i.e. the cow/calf/stocker/feedlot business. For us, the genetic predisposition for tenderness is the starting point.....then we have to take it from there to assure a reasonable rate of gain(no set-backs which = tough beef). Of course, your mileage may vary!! All IMO naturally! P.S. One of the most difficult things for us was to find an honest processor that would: a. cut it the way we wanted b. would not steal for their own meat market We take our steers over 50 miles to one that we trust; and are very thankful that we found him.
