For premium beef quality, harvesting when they're still gaining good weight on good forage is important. Once they go on hay the beef quality decreases. Some folks save pastures just for finishing animals and move the herd that's not getting processed onto hay.

We have two paddocks that we don't put the animals through. We have plans to hay them out on alternative years so we aren't depleting the soil too much. We could definitely run the herd through the other up to harvest. Lots to think about. Farming is such a science and everyones context is so different. I love hearing what others are doing.
