[QUOTE="chippie, post: 574728, member: 5644"] Whether you like it or not, you are being told the truth. It doesn't matter if you are a big time rancher or person who raises a calf a [b]year[/b] for his or her family. I bet that if you weighed the meat you brought home and added up your time and expenses, you are eating some high dollar beef (and I am not referring to the quality). We have only a few cows and raise our own beef, pork and poultry. At 17 months, your fine steer should have dressed well over 800 lbs. The last beef cross steer that we butchered at 15 months old dressed 878 lbs. We sold half of him to a friend. The last dairy cross steer we butchered, he was hereford x jersey. Our cow crawled the fence and visited our neighbors bull, who wasn't a very good one. We are eating him now. He dressed at 628 lbs at 10 months old. I had him put into hamburger because he was a sorry calf like yours and brought home 475 one pound packages of lean hamburger. And by the way, what in the heck do you mean by "he is eating great!" Is he still alive or do you mean he tastes good? You only want to hear the "wow, you did an awesome job / pretty cow" type posts. The posters here are not like that. It still makes me mad when I look at your cow's pictures. You have no business owning livestock if you can't take any better care of it. The way your cow looks, she would be classified as a canner at the auction, and that is the bottom of the barrel. Poor old girl. I hope that someone does buy her who will take care of her. [/QUOTE]
