Sounds like a plan to me.

Now there's one of the best lockers in this area. We take all of ours there. You'll be with-in 8 miles of the Homestead and you will go about a mile from one of my pastures. PM me and sometime when you're down this way I'll buy the coffee.

We only managed .2" night before last. Last rain was memorial week-end. But sub-soil moisture is good so the crop is holding it's own. Where are you taking your steers?

Now you be careful how you kick something. You could end up in worse shape (I know $5000 later) :oops:

Heck Judith just put up guardrail if them dang old horses eat that they deserve what ever they get from steel. :)

With todays lack of or high price ground I don't think you can really justify grass-fed. I'm not saying one is better than the other itjust seems that the return on investment is along ways down the road. If you don't have really deep pockets or a banker who has alot of guts it is going to...
