[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 230796, member: 3562"] There are definitely different genetics that work better in grass-fed scenarios. A family in our area does only grass-fed beef as part of their marketing and seem to be doing quite well with it. They bought our steers last year and hopefully will again this year. They also raise a small herd of cow/calf pairs and are using AI to get genetics that will help maximize profits from the cow herd. LAst year they used a Red Devon(Ithink) in their AI and clean up breeding. I personally think that grass fed is a good way of doing things. I haven't eaten much of it, but lots of people claim that it is really good, but I think thats because they had the right genetics. Most of our genetics today have been formed to convert fast of concentrate diets. Those are genetics that probably will not work very well for grass-fed programs. I am going to look into this alot more and maybe even try it with a few head next summer. [/QUOTE]
