[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 713208, member: 13410"] Lime many things in cattle business, there are many ways to do it and accomplish your goals. I don't think there is any one lcoation in the US where you can produce a consistent qualtiy pasture-finished product year around. The best locations may have a 8-10 month finishing window. So you do the best you can. If marketing to restaurants, having a fresh supply is year around. If marketing to individuals, you can usually harvest all the cattle in a fairly narrow window of time and get by with frozen product. The way I approach the cattle business is 1) decide what you want your income to be, 2) determine a realistic net return per head, 3) your needed income / net return per head then determines how many cattle you need to run. Some of the better pasture-finishers net over $500 per head which means you only need 100 head to make a living. If the net per head is only $100 then you need 500 head. Does this make sense to you?
