Hmm.. "grass fed beef", technically is supposed to be only pasture fed. In many areas, "certified grass fed beef" is just that, only pasture fed, no hay no grain. Some say it's alright to feed grass hay, in some areas, that's acceptable. But still no grain, so they don't finish properly. I know of some who do only pasture, but with a twist... They will finish them on alfalfa and grass pasture, the alfalfa takes place of grain. They will properly finish and marble then. In the end, as long as your customers are happy😎 We finish on good gras hay and grain.... Our customers are always happy!! (Just talked to one today, they ran out, had to buy hamburger in the store.... He said it just wasn't "right!" Thanks for the video Tyler!!! Oh, and that 1200 pounds, just about perfect!!! Most processors don't want anything heavier than that anymore, they want something they can handle and everything is more uniform, makes it easier for them to cut and wrap!!
@farmertylerranch43994 жыл бұрын
The National Cattleman’s Beef Association defines grass fed (or finished) like this- Grass-finished cattle spend their entire lives grazing and eating from pastures. These cattle may also eat forage, hay or silage at the feedyard. www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/cuts/grass-vs-grain?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtf_tBRDtARIsAIbAKe0GHjrDddABEtxeM0w5IBnW9VdKEblOlgE42Z7PZids6QYHmAm4HYwaAuPYEALw_wcB I’m not sure silage should be allowed (although it is) but I feel hay deserves to be part of the definition because except for alfalfa, what is hay but dry grass? That being said...I see your point! It is a kind of a misleading name! Thanks Ed
@turkeyhollowfarm18664 жыл бұрын
Grass fed itself is a dumb term if you think about it since if feeding hay is technically not “Grass Fed”. The we don’t feed the cows grass they self harvest the grass! I’d argue and say just about all beef is Grass fed for some duration. It’s the finishing process that we are looking for when it comes to the most nutritious beef. That yellow fat that which is indicative of the carotenes with is found from forage. I agree with Tyler in the aspect that hay is dried grass and if you can get the cattle to finish on it then it fits the bill as Grass Finished Beef! I’d just like to know what kind of hay it is and what’s the protein % of it? The hay we have here in south Texas are usually under 8% protein so it would be hard to finish a beef on it alone. Been wanting to experiment with feeding alfalfa hay in the dormant seasons to see how much if any weight gain we’d get.

So do you feed your cows just grass and/Or hay? We always give ares grain along with hay and then let them graze on pasture grass or vise of versa. Butcher cows go to the feed lot for 3 to 4 week to be feed corn along with other supplement. Grass feed beef don't really sell here in the South. Everyone says grass feed beef is grainy and tough and not a whole lot of flavor to it. Just curious so why you don't use grain to help them put some fat on for flavor and weight.

Thankfully this incident wasn't too bad and you've got gentle animals, but nothing more aggravating then a few head of high strung cows setting off otherwise completely calm herd. It looked like maybe 3 cows started the domino effect. I think the cow that starts pretty far back, right near a red cow, and runs up to the front veering right, is the worst offender. The frustrating thing is, those girls usually make the best moms (or maybe that's just why they're still around). What's an inconvenience for us humans is high survival instinct for the cow. Also, be honest, you were hoping for a kick from that steer!!! I know you were! That action shot thumbnail of the bull got you your 2nd highest views...
