That’s kind of a trick question…. Yes, they absolutely have something to do with marbling meat! You can marble poorer breads, it just takes a lot more time and work to get marble. Vs. some breeds marble way easier, and you don’t have to put so much work into them to get it. So, for the scope of it, YES! The breed can determine how much energy and time you have to put into the animal to get that marble, better genetics WILL have a quicker turnaround. That being said, That doesn’t mean that poorer genetics (within reason) can’t get to a good marbled state, but it may take you a bit more time. And we all know, more time = more grass = more money in your investment🐂.
Thanks for reply. We grow Lowline Angus. They marble great on grass but we are a closed herd and can’t find anything around like it to source for our customers so I’ve been looking at some others breeds that are more available but a little worried about having some disappointing results. Thanks again, good video
Hey thank you for your comment! We graze them on fescue, summer grass, prairie grass, and some lezpedeza we’re trying to get rid of. It looks pretty this spring, we did brush hog it last fall!
Thank you for your comment, in the future we plan to get into out of state shipping. I would look into fb homestead groups in your area. You can find grass fed meat that way usually!
Hey thank you so much for your comment. I think they’d do good, from all that I know. I just sold some in that area. It really is dependent upon the market you’re trying to hit.
Hey thanks for your comment, I love the input. Yes we are trying to balance the rumen of the cow by getting the high nutrient density plants with the more fiber plants. Getting them to eat both at the same time. Which will help the next time we come through with the cows the plants won’t be to mature.
Interesting. So it’s like making them eat their vegetables with their protein (competitive), versus letting them eat the protein, and then make them eat their vegetables. (grazing)
