[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 624928, member: 5898"] There's a couple breeds that do very well getting grain shoved at them from birth to slaughter-CHICKENS AND PIGS!!! Well feeding concetrates from birth on to cattle might improve marbling-will it improve the bottomline-I doubt it. Alot of the bigger cattle breeds were used as much for draft animals as for beef production in their native lands. I'm pretty sure Simmentals don't mature earliar than Herefords-I sort alot of calves every week at the yards anf I sure don't see it. The grid we sell into pays a $.14/lb premium for Prime carcasses so about $100-$110 per carcasses-a nice bit of change for sure. What is wrong with running cattle on grass till yearlings 15-16 months old then give them at short stay at the corn hotel-we average 95% AAA carcasses up here in Canada doing just that. [/QUOTE]
