[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 334844, member: 2095"] The big problem with an industry wide switch too grass is that there is NO infrastructure for such a switch. Right now we have plenty of feedlots and a lot of cow/calf ranches. There are stockers and backgrounders who take lite calves too feedlot weight. We really don't have so much surplus forage at the ranch level that we can EASILY finish THE NATION's calf crop on grass. Plus the public pays for a grain fattened steak. IF we switched too a grass fattened steak quickly we risk losing some of our customers. [/QUOTE]
