How soon can I butcher a steer after ACE?

[MKcattle]

I recently had a steer that wouldn't cooperate when moving from pastures. Anyhow I had a cowboy come out and giver him 4shots of Ace( didn't help) to calm him down, Roped him and brought him over to home base. I was wondering how long do I have to wait before I can butcher that thing? I want to butcher him early Jan

Can't imagine that he's going to taste too great when you finally do take him in, if he stays crazy

He calms down when he's with the other cows so I'm hoping he'll chill off quite a bit.

January will be fine! Next day would have been alright, too.

Make sure you take a buddy with him when you head to the processor. Agitated beef can be funky

Label says 7 days.

Since you have little idea exactly how much was given and it was given outside the letter of the laws governing its use, I would hold on to him a good deal longer than seven days. By January you will most likely be fine but due to the first sentence you will not find a vet that can give you a set answer.

Is there any type of tranquilizer that can be used and the animal can be harvested afterward? Like to get him on a trailer?

Asking for a friend.....lol had a jumper! 1500lbs over 6 ft from a stand still from in the shoot.... sorry chute. ( pun intended )

.........think in about a winter bull hunt.
