[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1808459, member: 38595"] I'm sure you've already formulated a plan. I just reread your OP. But I think you'd do better to not go with the older cow pair. Find one that's a fine looking specimen with lots of meat on her bones, 6 or younger. The yield will be much better than an older one. Older animals, like humans, lots of muscle mass, not real fat. When grinding a whole animal you lose a lot, might as well make the most of the processing costs. Here, pairs are dirt cheap compared to feeders and slaughter animals. Cow calf pairs are bringing pretty much the same money as a slaughter cow. [/QUOTE]
