[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 713165, member: 13410"] If you take 100% pasture-finished cattle to an endpoint in the High-Select to Low Choice or better range, you need to market them in that niche. You can sell these cattle grade and yield on the rail and they will bring the same prices as feedlot finished cattle. There is no price premium there. All you have done is saved some costs (assuming you are doing it effectively). The real value is selling the product as food. This can either be done thru direct marketing or sold to a wholsaler like Tall Grass Beef or Thousand Hills, depending on where you are located. There is a lot of work to do in the direct market business and you would likely need several years of finishing experience before you were prodcuing a premium quality product that would garner top dollar in the direct market. The advice you were given by other folks in previous posts to go to work for someone else is very practical and appropriate. Find out first if you even like doing the work and being around livestock on a daily basis. You're a long ways from where you need to be. [/QUOTE]
