[QUOTE="S&S Farms, post: 575027, member: 6262"] Try the product before you sell it. The hide color wont matter. Just make sure the beef is something that you would eat personally or you will be a one hit wonder. Ok Stick with british breeds. We feed out our straight herefords. We sell the Black Baldies to pay for the feed. This year I did 22 steers this way the most that I have done. Most people want them implant free. It takes longer to finish so make sure you price them accordingly. I also explain to people that the calves might get an antibiotic if it is needed just like we humans get if we are sick. When you explain it like that they are like ok I get it. We invite customers out if they want to see the animals. Never have had one come out yet but they are welcomed to stop by the ranch. Most of my new customers come from referrals I do not advertise. I do belong to our local Chamber of Commerce and they know what I do so they have sent me a few clients. Make sure of the sales tax laws in your state. I have several clients that will run short and want to just by some ground beef packages, but right now I don't want to mess with sales tax so I dont do this. The other important part in this is the butcher. Make sure you have one that you trust. I bad butcher can ruin your plans real fast also. We are feeding a whole corn ration out of a creep feeder 85% corn with balance of cotton seed hulls and a protein pellet and a little soy oil. Feed is there 24/7 also free choice brome or prairie hay. 22 head were sucking down 3 tons every 2 weeks. Steers finished in 16 - 17 months on average 1175- 1250 lbs. Good luck Jeff [/QUOTE]
