[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 252741, member: 1132"] I split a heifer a couple of times a year with people that are repeat customers but I have not tried it as a marketing approach for my calves. When we do a heifer she is around 1000 or more - why would folk want to spend the money for slaughtering a 600# calf? That's the average weaning weight for my calves & I never have thought of slaughtering at that size or weight. Fixed costs of slaughter plus size of steaks & possibly a loss in flavor (we find the older grass feed animals to have very good taste - like 24-30 months & in that 1000# range). [/QUOTE]
