Grass fed cows

We raise our own beef at home.. I have 4 acres of grass and I usually keep 2 to 4 head for this size... I like to average 1 cow per acre.

With water full time to trough they graze the field fine but honestly will not get to the full potential of size in one year for slaughter just on grass alone..

I bring them in at around 450 to 550 lbs and when they head out they are close to 1100 to 1400.

Red Angus cross short horn is usualy what we have...

Feed as I said is grazing plus a oats clean or dirty don't matter... from spring to Aug... once Sept rolls around my friend makes me some feed that consists of vitamins and minerals , grains , crush corn and molasses and filler

This process aids to fattening them up and the onset of the colder weather..

Late Decemeber they go for slaughter...

Been doing this since about s 2005 and haven't returned to the store yet for Beef...
