All The Way On Grass

摘要

Dick and Kim Gates expect to make more profit on the 25 head of steers they will pasture-finish for the freezer beef trade than on the 425 stackers they'll market traditionally this fall And that's even though they locked in profit on the feeder cattle last winter. The Spring Green, WI, couple got into pasture-finishing by grazing a few steers to custom slaughter for family and friends. Now, they sell three to four whole carcasses a year to a local cafeteria, as well as quarters, mixed halves and whole carcasses to an expanding list of customers.
