[QUOTE="SirLoin, post: 723625, member: 13578"] 3 way, the ribeyes in that other post were from the steer in the first pic. The second guy was a stag and was leaner. He dressed out at 700 lbs. I sold him in quarters to four different people for $2.00 a pound hanging weight. They all have reordered for next year. I kept half of the first one and sold the other half to my buddy. He said "don't change a thing". Limi, I'd like to try something else, but the tenderness and the taste of these guys is incredible. I look around every year trying to get a few different breeds of calves to try out. I'm not too keen on buying anything passing through our local farm auction house. It's mostly angus and angus/hereford crosses around here. Right now I've gotten some black angus calves with a few angus/longhornX calves. Since I started reading the forum I realized that It's taking me 3 or 4 months longer to finish steers than most. I can assure you it's not because I'm underfeeding them. I tried some simmental cross calves that grew much faster, but the meat quality was not the same. [/QUOTE]
