[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 995899, member: 19539"] Just a note, GRF is not your regular beef farm. Less than 20 years ago my dad had all Holsteins, that calved year round. After switching to beef, not much changed. Nursing mommas in the barn, calves are easy to work with, not feral. Easy to breed the cows back with AI. In winter all animals are in if possible. Saves on feed, the ones that were outside ate double of the ones inside. When there is pasture dry cows are out in a single line fence, they all get a chance outside for part of the year. Running the calves out and cleaning the pens are good chores for my nephews. :-) Finishing steers year round as well, but it works for our niche market, as does the multi color cattle. [/QUOTE]
