[QUOTE="Hickory40CC, post: 1334395, member: 23656"] Another option is to raise beef for sale locally to friends, acquaintances of yours. You can spend a little more to get quality forages...and then market grass-fed beef to people. Word-of-mouth will be all the advertisement you'll need. There are a LOT of people out there wanting locally raised, grass-fed beef. Sell it by the carcass weight to eliminate any guess work. Right now, sell it for $3 to $4 a pound carcass weight, and folk won't blink an eye to buy it from ya. That makes those 1000 lb'ers sell for $2000 - $2400...and that's steers AND heifers! I have what I think is the perfect cross for this...3/4 Red Angus 1/4 Limousin. Throw some hereford in there once in a while. [/QUOTE]
