[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1819045, member: 24565"] Grassfed cattle have lower carcass yields to start. Then the weight gain is less overall. So it is not a given that they will be or can be cheaper. I posted some recent research about it somewhere else in another thread the other month. And it also had info that frame score is not a good indicator for the best results in a grassfed production model. A lot of that is sales pitch for small framed cattle. They need an edge and a sales line and that one is well worn. Just my opinion: if it is taking 3 years to get to finish, there is a tremendously weak link somewhere. Either genetics, forage or something. But a gutless wonder is always better on concentrates than pasture regardless of frame score. [/QUOTE]
