[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 165582, member: 1947"] Waymoore, I actually prefer the taste of grass fed beef over grain fed. As for the most "economical" way of raising your own I'd buy a 600 or so pound steer in the early spring, let him eat the grass up till fall, and then butcher. That way you won't be out any money for hay. If you want you can give him a bit of grain those last couple of months just to keep it tame and comming up to the fence as it makes it easier when processing time comes as it's less stressful on the animal if it's not been in much contact with you. Last one I did was given less than a pound of cracked corn a day for about a month before slaughter and he tasted great. J [/QUOTE]
