[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1558682, member: 24565"] Yes and no. The "grassfed genetics" can also hid a lot of faults with fat. You need muscle and pounds to sell even in grassfed cattle. The processing cost will eat your lunch on small, light weight and low yielding cattle. I'd go with moderate cattle rather than extreme cattle. You need to find groups of health conscience or purpose driven folks. A friend in LA sells through a home schooling association. The promotions of happy cows and green pastures is more important in these sales than anything else. They are paying, partly, for a warm feeling and a wonderful experience. Grassfed beef will finish on flushes of forages. You will either need to get pre orders for late spring for the natural flush or create forage flushes during the year with plantings and management.
