[QUOTE="goddy, post: 1295501, member: 3612"] Thanks Kathie, I would require a good deposit before taking the steer to slaughter with then signing off on a contract stating non-refundable etc... I also would buy calves from the barn and raise up from about 3wt and then feed out I may try a few that way and see what happens. Right now I have several steers ranging from 350-700lbs.Burger flys off the shelves like hot cakes here so I thought about buying a slaughter cows and grinding up.[/quote] So what age/weight would you be planning to slaughter ? Just interested as I can't quite picture a 300lb weaned steer turning into quality beef. IMO getting quality beef does require a good start to life , which to me would be a weaning weight in the 650 - 750 lb range, but that is to do it on pasture and I haven't read back to see if you said you were going to grass finish or grain. Has been an interesting conversation. Good luck [/QUOTE]
