[QUOTE="goddy, post: 1295144, member: 3612"] You are 100% right there ! It's pretty easy to sell to someone once, the trick is doing it over again on a regular basis. There also needs to be an understanding of the difference between grass fed ( ie out on grass and no grain ) and grass finished which does take high quality grass, good genetics and good management. Buying some steers at the sale barn and giving them grass only and turning them over is probably not going to be successful in the long run - you need .IMO. to be breeding for the finished article and that isn't going to be the same thing for all locations. I see some CL ads for grass finished and the animals are so far from showing any finish it's not funny. In those cases it means the seller is finished with the animal and wants some $. these types give grass finished a bad name as they literally leave a bad taste in the mouth [/QUOTE]
