[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 698455, member: 10970"] Let me site the obvious so you can better understand it Nova--- Grassfed genetics are both by phenotype and genotype. Phenotypically speaking you should cull those which will not make it on a forage base-- first.. Then when those are culled you get rid of the rest that cannot cut it on forage, at which time you have a genetically superior group of cattle based on forage utilization. On the other hand your grain fed genetics --will never cut it on forage , which has already been figured out ---long ago--- as most of the commercial cattle operations in the US are grain fed genetics. You can change it, beginning with your soil, forage base then your genetics. Anyone on Fescue will have to start over (a least a decade behind if you started today). Fescue fed beef is the worst on Earth. [/QUOTE]
