Abstract: Commercial cow-calf producers in Texas have traditionally had three marketing options: livestock commission companies, private treaty sales, or retained ownership (stockers/feeders). Most calves are placed on wheat or other forage for conditioning with some sold as herd replacements. Grass-fed beef may be a viable, alternative management practice for improving profitability.
