I see Jeanne's point - For Heifer #3 if you are committed to finishing her out, might want to check in to see if Castle Meats in Ione has a slot available for Nov/Dec. They are usually booked out several months but have had a number of cancellations this year. Jethro at Castle does a fantastic...

As others have said, it depends on a number of variables and what your goals are for your freezer beef product. We’re shooting for high choice/low prime on a minimum 800 lb carcass weight for our product and we are at least 150 days on grain, working up to about 28 lbs per day over the first 60...
