[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 846469, member: 14878"] MarkM, I am 11 years into what you are endevouring to do. As far as cash flow you can play any of the traditional conventional practices. But with grassfed, you are looking at 2 years from the time a cow calves to receive any income. You might be able to cheat that by a couple of months due to your longer season than mine. Just remember that changing breeding course halfway through really sets you back. Switched to a particular line of Herefords and have never looked back. You are very smart to stay red. The type of animal you decide will really set you up for success or failure. Sometimes it is tough enough dealing with seasons and what nature throws at us and you need the right genetics to capitalize on a low energy system. Most grassfed direct-marketing operations up here roughly take 10 years for everything to come together. Feel free to p.m. me and I would be happy to tell what I am doing. [/QUOTE]
