[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 334786, member: 4063"] Now for my two cents worth! The most desirable quality of cattle is that they can take a low quality feed, forage, grass, etc. and turn it into a higher quality food, beef. In the past I feel that it was easy to throw cheap grain in the feed bunk to increase the quality of the beef being produced. Those days will soon be gone, we are beginning to see the transition with higher grain prices. Beef producer should concentrate on raising cattle that can thrive on forage alone and use genetics to improve the quality of the product, marbling, tenderness, flavor, instead of just feeding more grain to overcome genetic weaknesses. I think the market will favor those producers with cattle, regardless of breed or color, that can finish on grass within a reasonable time and can deliver a high quality eating experience because of their lower cost of production.
