[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 758421, member: 7509"] Over the past few days I delivered the first batch of beef quarters from my own raised steers that were intentionally finished and harvested at about 12 months off of grazing standing unharvested corn. We also grilled some for my own family this weekend for one son's college graduation party and I would have to say that is about the most tender beef I have ever had. The experiment looks like it is going to work out. I was also pleasantly surprised at the amount of beef we got from animals that were lighter than average at harvest. It looks like the beef to bone ratio (higher than for heavier animals) makes up a bit for the lighter live weight. Not expected but a pleasant surprise. I should have some more reports back from the people that really count before too long. Jim edit: just have to figure out how to get more steaks out of a quarter (!) although the boneless rolled roasts are a favorite too [/QUOTE]
