[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 756454, member: 839"] I was thinking along similar lines. Have you got/will you be able to get a long-term written contract committing the nursing home to this arrangement? And I mean long-term as in longer than 3 years. If so, then for this year and possibly next, you could buy the amount of feeders you need or see about freezer space while adjusting your management practices to a 2X a year calving season. Just a thought. I also agree with longtimelurker, if you have smaller calves at time of slaughter, they may not have the "finish" they should, resulting in the "product" not being up to the same "standard/quality/etc" that the nursing home will have been accustomed to.
