[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 254902, member: 3162"] There is a lot to be said about just being able to judge by looking to tell when one is ready. If it happens to be a year with good grass, 6 weeks feed is all I need. One year it might be 10 weeks. Much of it depends on how big the animal is when I begin. I like them to be atleast 900 lbs but not much more than 1300. I always use a steer. If my favorite cows have heifers, I resort to another cow. If the meat is excellent, I might pick that cow again. If the meat is just good, I'll go to a different one and not go back. I have my favorite. In a round about way, I guess I am just saying "trial and error". Last year I got it perfect. This year I did okay but it was the first time out of a cow I hadn't used before. Experience playing around with it helps. [/QUOTE]
