[QUOTE="Duramaxgirl, post: 1357554, member: 20693"] Welcome! My sister owns dairy cows. She had a steer from one cow that was half Jersey half black Angus. It wasn't the best grower and they kept it till it was about 28ish months before butchering and it tasted great! Having your own beef in the freezer is so amazing! I would grow them all and split with someone on the cost of butchering and cut and wrap. We butchered a cow early this summer. We kept half and sold half. After it was all said and done we made about $400 profit and the meat was free... Of course that doesn't count the hay and grain we put into her. We plan on at least 2-3% of body weight every day per cow during the winter in hay, this is what my dad taught me as he was raised on a cattle ranch. Often we feed more then that though. So if you know your cattle weights its a easy way to know how much hay for winter. We feed about 8 months out of the year here in North Idaho. [/QUOTE]
