Now we're running into regional differences. I have green grass for 2 to 3 months I assume yours is green for at least 6 months. And what I'm argueing is yes you can run a feeder outfit on grass and get a continental to grow faster then an english but how may years would it take to finish that...

But that still doesn't change the premise that effeciency is effeciency. I suppose you're going to try and argue certain breeds (yours included of course) digest the different matters better and use it more effeciently. There has been plenty of research that shows any animal after a transition...

Effeciency means cost effective so that would include any diet. As feed prices continue to rise more and more cattle will need to be grown or finished on grass or lesser value feeds. You cannot do that with a continental breed and will run into trouble with current industry leading breeds.

What is the name of your Galloway ranch I've probably heard of it. My father may have bought a bull from you at one time or another if you where in business in the 80s in western Canada. Also I have some neighbors in Terry that raise Galloways. They tried a Welsh Black as a cross for awhile...

How do I attach a photo. I was born with a cowboy hat on so pretty much every picture I own is a hat picture and I take way to many pictures! Do I need to put a link in here to a shutterfly type site? Here's a link to a picture of me on my website, not artistic just a hat shot...

This is why Galloways are catching back on with the growing grassfed market. The thicker hide and longer hair make them more effecient. The breed died out with the growth of the feedlot industry. The long hair got mudded and before diseases where understood properly mud was considered unhealthy...

Shame on you to have the picture of the most efficient breed (and one of only to pure herdbooks left) and preach the growth of Charolais. If you want raw bone and ineffeciency that is the way to go. I wean galloway calves as big as other english breeds with 200 to 400 lb lighter cows. Moderate...
