keeping in mind i'm in upper east tennessee, what would your ideal pasture mix of perennial and warm and cold season annual forage be?
my priorities are, in order:
1. growing the healthiest and best tasting beef (i ain't tried everything, but so far i've liked grass fed and grain finished the best)
2. highest yield
3. lowest time and money input
go ahead, i want to hear all your "if i had it to do over again, i'da planted xyz" advice, or "man, i'm glad i planted xyz" testimonials.
from my other thread on breeds, i'm gathering that as long as i stick to a decent beef breed, there won't be much difference in taste, and in fact what they eat may have more to do with it than pedigree. so if you were raising a beef to serve your family for Christmas dinner, what would you feed the beef, if you had a blank slate.
