[QUOTE="Fenwick, post: 7324604, member: 120460"] Some breeds absolutley do need grain for finishing. The blonde d'aquitaine being the most obvious example. They were selectivley bred for a high grain diet when grain was cheap as a result have small rumens and need an extremely high energy diet in order to finish (linseed etc). My father inlaw used to do a couple pf heifers a year. U+2 600kg carcasse sold for over 3000€. Even so, the national average for the fat score is 2. Adapted genetics are extremely important. [/QUOTE]
