[QUOTE="usernametaken, post: 420390, member: 6820"] My normal finishing times are 14-16 months w/frame 6's and 900-950 lb. carcasses. On grain. They should do close to the same on forage if I could keep a superior quality in front of them for a complete 6-7 month period. I'm not putting grass finished beef down, but I just don't care for it. Plus.....we don't have anywhere near enough real estate with good forage capabilities to make a dent in the market.[/quote] Mike, What are you thoughts on how the grain prices will affect you ? Are you raising your own grain ? Feeding corn or something else? Do you see any health problems with feeding grain that length of time? I prefer the taste of corn fed beef myself - I'm sure that is because that is what so many of us have been raised on. But to me, the challenge of producing a grass-fed beef that is both tasty and tender is an intriquing one and a wide-open field. It is noticeable that taste does not seem to be a focus in the grass fed field. Untaken [/QUOTE]
