[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1652805, member: 5381"] I never butcher anything quality wise that I can sell for a good chunk of change. There is always cripples around that you can buy cheap but what I really prefer are Jersey steers. I try to find one about 700 lbs that I can feed out with some high fat feed up to about 1000 lbs. The steaks are not as big but since it is just me and my wife, the animals are the right size for us. Now to answer Bignicks questiom, I have a friend that sells meat. His preferred choice for his shop are big heifers that come through the sale barn that have been preg checked as open. They go direct from the sale to the slaughter plant where they are killed and quartered. They will be in his meat case soon after depending on the aging process. [/QUOTE]
