[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1255649, member: 498"] That would be on the rail. Do the math a 600 pound hanging beef brings in $2550 at $4.25 a pound. I see ads on Craigslist Seattle for grass fed beef running from $3.00 to $5.00 and pound hanging weight. The funny thing is to say a critter is grain fed is the kiss of death. A few years ago I sold a dozen steers that way and they went fast. The following year I had a free martin and a PI heifer that I put in a pen and fed out. Ran and ad for a month and a half and never had a single phone call. Ended up eating the PI heifer myself. It was a lot better beef than the grass fed I sold the year before. But those greenie urbanites want grass fed. And they are the ones with the money. [/QUOTE]
