[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1743213, member: 38595"] I try the same approach as them. I cull animals needing wormed often. Only worm as needed. Read somewhere that containing them for a few days after worning can save the worms. Keeps the shed insecticide in one spot. These animals have had only hay since February. This picture was taken 5 minutes after I put them on grass. To me, they are thin, but fat compared to many I see in my area. My favorite beef to date was only fed corn for about 21 days. And that was solely for ease of loading. Was 2 years old and hung at 685 pounds. Was a Limousin/Angus steer. I've pulled animals straight off grass and had processed, our customers loved it. Talking 2 to 4 year old girls. With the price of inputs right now, I'm exploring grass only route too. If you're managing everything correctly and cull diligently, it is very doable. But the animals have to be fat their whole lives IMO. [/QUOTE]
