[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1680289, member: 968"] I like both - tenderness & flavor. I butcher at 12-13 months of age with 750# average hot carcass weights. They will go high Choice - butcher thinks some would go Prime. But, I feed whole shell corn - all they will eat + free choice grass in the beginning, then hay (fall born calves). Start them at weaning at about 1% of their body weight and keep increasing as they keep cleaning up. I add protein pellets at first until they are about 900#. I am not saying feeding slow and long isn't good - I just don't have the time to take up a lot that long. If you can get it done faster, works great for me. [/QUOTE]
