[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1679625, member: 14585"] Wouldn't 4 days be enough if it's all being ground for hamburger? The longer it hangs, the fewer take home pounds. 1 butcher told me he considers 14 days ideal. Another butcher said after 10 days carcass gets slimey with too much loss and he processes most steers with a 8-9 day hang. 3rd butcher with a small freezer and a lot of business, charges freezer storage by the day and said most of his customers choose a 7-8 day hang.
