[QUOTE="dave_shelby, post: 1745729, member: 22579"] I am firmly in the fescue belt but get your point on buying cattle raised the way you want. Here there hard part if getting an honest sale. That said, I bought just four red angus, and I have been quite happy with them, fat buts and wide guts. And so easy to work in the chute. Side story. There are three 80-something year old fellows who farm 1500 or 2500 acres maybe more that are more or less a local legend here. Low input, and not the rotationally grazed kind of way to understand that phrase either. Their equipment would be considered old 30 years ago. They make do or do without. Bale hay - if you can call it that - 8 months of the year. Their pastures are seem hardly improved, lots of broomsedge. But apparently they are making money. They run small-medium frame cows that wean a 400-450 pound calf. I just got to wondering, they handle fescue and poor grasses - might be something there. [/QUOTE]
