[QUOTE="TwoByrdsMG, post: 1739358, member: 37975"] Why get heifers if you are going to butcher them? Pay a little more and get a couple steers. For every 6 lbs of grain consumed I think they will gain 1 lb. More feed = more carcass on the end. You can grass feed them but they take a bit longer and grass fed beef does have an earthy flavor to it if you graze/feed it exclusively. I agree- stay away from the lowline unless you just want smaller steaks. Brangus or angus doesn't matter too much unless they crawl the fences. That's usually why steers are better- they aren't looking for love every 3 weeks. [/QUOTE]
