Yep we grass the steers until September and breed a big bunch of the Hfrs for 30 day and we sell the bottom end of the hfrs that we don't breed in late March early April into the grass market.

I wish we had enough grass to what you are doing but if it doesn't rain a bunch of our cows will be heading to the salebarn.
