| HeelFly sound like the right kind of cattle is they aren't the bigger framed kind of Hereford's-in our country good native blue grass or fescue meadows can really harden yearlings in the late fall-they slick up really well on it. Dylan Biggs knows as much about grass finishing as anybody in Canada (403 578-2404)-rotationally grazing isn't the be all and end all of grass finishing either though in most situations it does help. In strong grass country like yours bigger pastures might work-I'd think that distance travelled getting to water and grazing might limit things to some extent. Haven't seen your place but I'm sure that the grass getting higher than 10" won't be a problem lol. We actually market our dry threes as grassfed beef-they are done growing so they are easy to get fat cover on and taste great. That might be an option for you to try-remember when you think outside the box there are no rules per se but you have to deliver what you promise. Just promise healthy-good eating beef and you'll be away.
