[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1424133, member: 25884"] Nearly all my jerseys are 30 months before I send them to the butcher. I have an almost 4 yr old jersey/guernsey heifer that came up open that is going on Monday. She has plenty of "condition" so I am not worried about eating her. We hang for 18-21 days and have only ever had one tough animal and it was a brown swiss cross. But if you are at all friendly with the butcher, just ask them to cut off a couple of steaks and bring them home and try them and then let them know what the results were and they can process the animal accordingly the next day. We also just sold a 38 month heifer that was diagnosed open, her second chance and she brought 1.07 lb. at the sale barn 3 weeks ago. Cull cow prices here are up in the 60's and some 70's so if the heifer is in good flesh she ought to do okay at the sale. [/QUOTE]
