We pasture our steers for the season, pen them so they are not running all over the place. Feed them good hay and grain. Great tender beef. Mind you are beef are either full Angus or Angus/Jersey cross.
do you grass feed or grain feed before slaughter?

Exploring the pasture
Grass fed beef is so much better for you than corn fed. Cows simply were not made to eat corn but grasses and grain only. Read Real Foods, The Omnivores Dilemma, etc about the grass fed/pasture movement. Two years ago we switched over to grass and grain only meats and our health has improved tremendously. We have also found that slaughtering at a younger age helps with flavor when grass feeding. Also, studies have found that feeding corn is one of the reasons we find E coli in our meat now as it produces digestive problems for the cattle.
