[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 664110, member: 7233"] smallrancher, your idea of feeding her out for just 30 days may not be optimal, but it would be fine. We've done the same - with a similar sized steer, not a heifer. His steaks were smaller than average and lightly marbled. They were juicy, tender and delicious. We're doing the same with another one right now although he's a bit bigger this time. He's penned alone and he's fine although he does call out to the others when he sees them. Some may think it's crazy, but we actually prefer the smaller steaks. Next year we plan to butcher a heifer instead of a steer, so if you do go this route let us know how it works out. [/QUOTE]
