I've always found herbivores to be the best grazers... Sorry, couldn't resist.

I've always been a believer in grazing animals. A cow can harvest feed a whole lot more efficiently than you or I can with a swather/baler or combine. I tend to disagree with the statement that there is more room for inexperience with cow calf pairs than with stockers. Bulls, calving, twins, etc, etc all have the potential for problems. Stockers show up self sufficient. Feed em, water em, doctor any that may get sick, Kill em and eat em. Not to say that they will always be easy. I just think they are easier.
Intensively managing your pasture will greatly increase your yields and profitability. Cows tend to be picky eaters if given their druthers.

I'd say go to the conference and hear what they have to say.
