With the high feed cost right now it is hard to make much finishing cattle out. IF you have to buy your feed then you can lose money real easy. I know that some promote grass feed beef. I think they are out of the main stream and really don't make a real profit. They are pushing an agenda rather than a product. You are talking about a niche market either way. So research what freezer beef are selling for in your area. Just selling at the sale barn will be hard to make a profit on such a small scale.
If you have pasture then brood cows work fine. Year in year out the cows will make me money more often than the feed cattle. Plus I am using pasture ground that is not usable for anything else.
The feed cattle are a hit and a miss type of thing. You do real good some times and loose your shirt others. I am covered as I don't have to buy feed so if the cattle don't sell high I just lost the opportunity to sell my grain for a higher price. It is not a direst loss like buying the feed would cause.
