[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1804295, member: 24816"] We have a 2 yr old BWF heifer that never did get bred. We are needing another beef to quarter out. I currently have her with the beef steers as of about 3 weeks ago. The process date is in late October so she’ll be 30 months by then. She’s a thick made solid calf already and should be in real good condition being on feed for 5 more months. Processed a two yr old heifer that lost a calf and only had her on feed for a month and would never do that again unless just for hamburger as I think they need to be fed longer. Then processed an older cow fed out 3 months a few years ago. The roasts were good but steaks were more chewy than I would like as far as somebody else getting it. My question is would this 30 month heifer at the time be too old for good steaks if fed out that long? She’s probably 1,100# now. [/QUOTE]
