[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 713384, member: 3333"] Jeanne - Simme Valley: The steers that were born in spring of 08 would have been ready after being on this winter pasture until around the end of Jan 10. We usually send out an email notice of availability just after Thanksgiving to all our prior customers and inquiries - and ask for a deposit. Well, we all know what was going on last fall/winter----people were scared spitless about the banking system possible failure, etc etc etc.....people were understandably hesitant about spending 1400+ for a half beef all at once. We don't have any storage facilities. It took us about 4 months to sell all our beef. So we took the up-coming steers to the sale barn and decided to take one season off to see what was happening with the economy. I'm still getting lots of inquiries and have a standard reply explaining the situation and that we will have beef again in early 2011. Here's some of last year's beef-note that the oats were a lot shorter. We had an almost dry fall and quite dry winter, all of which added into the decision to haul to the sale barn.: [img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a400/beavercreekfarms/DCP_4050.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
