[QUOTE="chippie, post: 942795, member: 5644"] You don't have to feed it out to 1000 or 1100 lbs. You can butcher it at a smaller weight. We have raised a lot of Jersey steers and had them processed when they were around 800 lbs. Granted your roasts and steaks are smaller, but the meat was tender and good. We also had 5 kids at home then (7 in the family). Now, everyone is mostly grown and there are only 3 to 4 of us here. We don't eat as much meat and now sell the calves and buy what we need. [/QUOTE]
