Looking for farm recs to purchase a 1/2 cow in SE LA

Key requirement is that the cow to be grass fed but grain finished. I’ve had 100% grass fed cows and they just don’t compare IMO. Any recommendations of who to reach out to in SE LA? all the farms I found online are 100% grass fed.

I don’t know where this “grass fed” craze came from. It was always better to corn feed cows or pigs for a few weeks before slaughtering. Marbling doesn’t come from grass.

in. Where about are you? Could get a few people to split a cow or two?

Madisonville here
If there is a recommendation I can inquire about pricing and come back to this thread to see if people are in this area and interested in splitting

Maybe this isn’t a popular opinion (or maybe it is?), but I hate the way it tastes.

Grass fed, grain finished is good.

It is truly terrible.
I don't like dry aged steaks either though. They always taste like there is a funk to them.

Seconded. I've spoken with Shawn and had some of his product and it's fantastic. Need to get a deep freezer and I'm getting a half. He quoted me $1250 when we spoke for approx 155lbs of beef.

The taste of iron is always super potent with grass fed. Never understood the craze either.

For a half, you're honestly 50-65 pounds light on yield if they are only giving you 155# total. Unless it's an unusually small steer.

Call up your local LSU Ag Center extension office and inquire if their parish livestock show, which will all take place around mid January, will have an auction. If so they’ll be auctioning off market steers, pigs, lambs, etc from kids finishing up their livestock projects for the year. You’d be supporting a great program for kids and get a good product as well.

Great call. And the quality should be superb.

The ranch I am getting some beef from in Kansas is $700/quarter (120 pounds), $1,375/half (240 pounds) and $2,665/whole (475 pounds). The weights are average weights.

You want the front half or the back half?
