Sounds like a plan. I don't know where you plan on buying these beef feeders but you might want to try to find some steers from a grass herd, buying off of the farm or ranch. Steers from good marbling-EPD genetics should finish nicely on good mixed alfalfa hay and mineral. I'm finding the Hereford marbling EPD to be very useful on working towards a herd that can finish mostly on forages.
