[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1456965, member: 26621"] We butcher a couple a year because we like beef that tastes good. Two butcher calves ago was Raymond, a calf that had a bad case of pink eye in both eyes as a young calf. We ended up making him a bottle calf when he was two months or so old because it was near impossible to keep him doctored in the pasture. Of course he ended up blind, and never wandered very far. He just walked circles and ate corn. He weighed about 1,400 and was the best beef I've ever eaten. I've threatened to gouge the eyes out of a calf for some more beef that tender.(No, I wouldn't really do that....maybe) Get them up to at least 20 pounds of corn a day for the last 100 days of their life, and it's gonna be good. Edit: I should add that the three of us don't eat two fat calves a year on our own. We keep a few others in beef, as well. [/QUOTE]
