All right, for those of you who don't know my background, here:
http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=483112#483112
So, basically, I need a breed that will produce plenty of beef on a grass-based feeding plan. No grain whatsoever. I'd prefer an animal that can give me a lot of chuck (I love chuck steak, lol), and more of the better cuts if there is a breed that can. My crocodilian pets (as well as the komodo dragon) aren't picky about what part of the animal they get, so long as they get fed. I just want to be able to eat well too, lol.
Oh, and are there any beef breeds that are a good choice for oxen? I'd like an ox just to keep around, he could carry my equipment lol. And I could eat him when he was too old to work.
