Assume you are you going to be selling finished? Are you going to retail the meat yourself (box scheme, farm shop etc)? Or sell liveweight or deadweight through the regular channels?Okay, so probably been covered before but with more people trying to go towards completely grass based beef systems what breeds seem to be performing best? Essentially what breed/cross is proving to be the most profitable for you?
If going down the own retail route, look at either your most local native breeds for provenance or go for the slightly more unusual e.g. Dexter, Wagyu, in other words something you can sell a story about. If however you want to carry on selling through the usual channels, a continental (obviously Blonde ) crossed with a native would be the most saleable.
