[QUOTE="The Nutty Proffessor, post: 1074046, member: 21528"] I found this forum because of a recent event. We slaughtered two cows last week, one weighed about a 60 more on the hoof than the other and was fat. After the slaughter the contents of the guts were left on my field and I spread it around with a harrow, picking up a large ball of plastic twine, probably 6-8". The next day I received the report on the hanging weight, the one that weighed more going in, hung about fifty pounds. The steer was obviously bloated and may have not been processing feed as well as he should. He was 21 months and hung at 612, the other was 656, both Holsteins. We always try to keep the twine away, but they broke into the hay this year and ate about thirty bales before we realized what they were doing. Last year we slaughtered two (Holsteins steers) at 17 months and one hung at 580 and one at 604. Now I hope the twine does not effect the taste! [/QUOTE]
