[QUOTE="DaveinMaryland, post: 823507, member: 16409"] A local told me that if your steer is only grass fed all the meat will end up tasting like liver. Is that true? She recommended feeding it corn for the last few months. As for the math I'm not sure about it being a losing proposition either. A friend gave me this idea and she said it ended up costing 2.50/pound when everything was done. And she is in dry, western Colorado where she needed to buy feed. My field is full of rich grass (septic field is part of it) so I can't see spending that much on feed. On top of that with a garden hose I can get plenty of water from my home well. But the real kicker is the retrieval of the loose animal and the inability to vacation. [/QUOTE]
