[QUOTE="cowmomma, post: 163285, member: 3153"] I posted under another subject...but the subject name wasn't very descriptive so I thought I'd try again. We have had cows 14 months or so. We made it through winter calving, buying a bull and we think we have them bred back for fall calves. We'll have them preg checked in a few weeks. We haven't yet sold our first beef but we have had many inquiries. Our first one to butcher is a bull. A butcher, who left the area, told us "bull beef" will be more tender for grass finished beef. He is a Angus/Hereford...about 1000#. I have been told that 1000# is the target for butchering. Will he be marbled by then? Is marbling and age, weight or feed thing? Also asking about pricing. I have heard locally 1.75# hanging weight & 1.05 live weight. Bill in Alabama posted on here and said that it is a little lower where he is. In both cases the customer paid the butcher's fees. Also planning to have him aged 2 weeks. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
