[QUOTE="GANGGREEN, post: 671065, member: 6460"] RA Bill, I'm not sure if you were asking me but, no, I never said that I'm averaging 45-55% hanging weight. I've only done 4 animals so far but last year's animals seemed to finish much higher than I would have expected. As I said before, I didn't have live weights but got nearly 70% of their hanging weights in boneless cuts, which I thought was extremely high. Thanks for all the comments everyone. As I said, I'm really just learning. Apparently pasturing for a long while and then putting on grain to finish as I had done with my Highlands is not necessarily the right thing for the char and limo cross animals. This is precisely what I was looking for and why I posted the pics and asked the questions. I'm sure other beginners are learning from the discussion as well. [/QUOTE]
