[QUOTE="james coffelt, post: 1295232, member: 23203"] Excellent points above Grass fed often means absence of grain. Grass finished means it is finished/marbled, as well as grain finished. The right genetics, i.e, high efficiency, lower milking, moderate growth, moderate frame, thick, will finish easily on grass, and can actually become too fat. We watch fat around the tailhead, if they are fat there, they are finished.

Animals up to 6 years old are great beef with great flavor. Females finish easier, and calve along the way. In my opinion, this is an all female business. We sell beef twice per year, July and Nov. In July, anything that lost a calf or came up open, Nov. is any additional culls/lates. Trucking and sorting takes time and money. Any over supply goes in freezers. [/QUOTE]
