Story Of Two Farmer Neighbors In Tennessee
A comparative tale by C D Lowe from the University of Tennessee shows two Tennessee farmers, Lee and Jackson. Lee uses a registered beef bull on grade cows and consistently sells two year old feeders heavier and at higher price than Jackson, who uses only varying bulls on his herd.

Tennessee yields lag, but improved pasture could lift profits by selling off grass finished beef rather than fattened stock.
