[QUOTE="lead_dog, post: 478762, member: 5972"] Yes, that's true, we will direct market to consumers. Cradle to grave, born on the farm, processed locally and sold by us to consumers. As you know, I've selected Murray Grey's as our breed. I have Genestar tests for each. What I am unsure about is exactly when to plan on scheduling processing (when they reach a specific weight or time of the year or...) and what management decisions I can make in the interim to help ensure the most tender and flavorful beef. I realize that the best management decision I can make is to keep them low stress in life and in transport to processing. But can we produce better beef by finishing them their last month or two on a specific type of forage, or does it not matter? Does it affect the flavor if they're processed coming off highly vegetative growth (spring) vs. the lower growth of late summer? It's an art and I'm just trying to learn from others experiences.
