[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 228068, member: 430"] We are starting to feed out an older cow and I guess her weight at about 1100 lbs. The processer I called said that anything over 30 months they can only turn into hamburger - no steaks, because of BSE. I don't get it? I'm going to eat the hamburger just as much as the steaks. Has anyone else run into this? They also said that she doesn't need to hang because she's going to be all ground, is this correct too? So if I figure 1100 live weight, would 660 hanging weight, and 495 wrapped weight be about right? They charge $25 kill fee, plus $0.45 per lb hanging weight for grinding and wrapping. Is that about the normal charge? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
