[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1067539, member: 5381"] I would get a large 800-900 lb open heifer that the regular buyers don't won't. Maybe she is spotted or has a lump or a limp or just ugly. A skinny one would be best. I would also buy a smaller animal to keep her company. Put them on some good feed for 45 days or so and slaughter the large one. I/2 of this animal will probably be enough so sell half if you can. Buy another small one at this time and start the cycle over. leave them on pasture until you see the freezer start to get low and then start the feeding process. Once you have done a couple you will quickly see how many steaks you need and realize how many tougher cuts come on a animal that are better off ground into hamburger. Fajitas and a crock pot will become your friend when it is time to get the final packages out of the freezer. [/QUOTE]
