[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 440376, member: 2095"] The proposed 2002 label would have allowed any calf who had spent a large part of his life on grass to be labeled as "grassfed". The proposed 2006 label would have allowed any calf who had spent the majority of his life particularly the last 90 days on grass to be labeled as "grassfed". The big issue is will the new label requirement reg what is growing in that pasture?? Grass finishing sets up real nice IF you can wean calves to growing annuals, move them to early oats in the early spring, wheat in the late spring, millet in the early summer, and finish them out grazing green corn in mid to late summer. IF that was done right, good steers on good ground COULD be ready for harvest in 18 months. [/QUOTE]
