[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1734647, member: 39122"] Very few in my area knife cut, almost everyone bands. I have been banding my calves as well with no problems. As far as yield most of the off color stuff are going to yield just as well. From my experience some of the smaller framed have yielded just as well as the big framed. I’ve recently finished out some Longhorn cross cattle and they yielded 65% of hanging weight ( hw around 600) , the pre-vac cattle I finish generally hang around 750 but still yield around 65% hw. Steaks just aren’t quite as big on the smaller ones. My customers actually like the smaller ones because of the steaks being a tad smaller. [/QUOTE]
