    Some young culls

    Those look like ribeyes and the packages look boneless

    Some young culls

    They remove the spine-affects tbones primarily (which changes them into amazing filets and NYS)

    Some young culls

    I'm taking this open heifer in next week-hurts my heart, she's thick, great disposition and easy keeper. Just wouldn't stick, AI or bull. Her fat roll by her tailhead is probably the main culprit. Hope she turns out nicely

    Good meat

    Other than the yellow fat, we have clover and ryegrass right now-do those cause off flavor?

    Good meat

    I have an open heifer, fat on grass-just found out she was open a week ago and kill date is 5/21. She has some feed every few days, but do I need to do a huge conversion to grain at this point for milder fat flavor?

    Ribeye comparison

    We’re the ages the same on both or was the Hereford older-can’t remember.

    Good meat

    Just got a spotted steer back yesterday (probably LH cross but we were told dam was British White). I asked the processor (USDA) for their “extensive cuts” package-chuck eye steaks, Denver, flat iron, etc. 20 month old 1100 lb steer, hung at 602, and got a freezer full of nice cuts back, plus...

    Finishing 5 fall steers

    Ours pays a rendering fee if it gets hauled off, so I suppose it saves them extra weight for haul-off (making it a wash to give it back in packages?) they will charge for hide and whole head. This particular processor also has a minimum fee, but do a heck of a good job and are USDA. My cut-out%...

    Finishing 5 fall steers

    Ok. Our processors don’t include those in HW. That makes me feel better 😉

    Finishing 5 fall steers

    Jeanne, does your 62% HW include offal or without? Trying to compare apples to apples with HW.

    New Meat Processing Plant in East Tennessee

    That would be a lot of cows to supply Bucees brisket

    What should we ask for deposits for beef?

    Not necessarily

    What should we ask for deposits for beef?

    1/3-Deposit also helps cover processing cost if they do back out….making up meat cost is easier if processing is already covered

    Making beef

    Plan C May be butchering one of my cows if she is open after AI-she bred late last year, has bad feet, great disposition and udder but I can’t keep stretching out breeding. Her dam has bred 1st attempt AI 5 years straight.

    Making beef

    The last older cow we did was quite tasty, even the filets.

    Making beef

    I’ve got a decent group of people who want to get some “home grown” beef, for 4 years now, repeat customers. I typically butcher 4/year, usually 2 home-grown and 2 purchased steers. Last year’s drought changed a lot, and now extra steers (or young bulls) are really high $, and I still have a...

    Decisions….

    Central Texas-I’ll add it. .85 would be great-even custom around here is .95, I use a great USDA for $1/lb, but they don’t do back-end fees(rendering), so it works.

    Decisions….

    Because the grass is growing and I had people wanting beef, I moved my first butcher date from late July to late June. These are the two candidates. Spotted steer is 2 months older, obviously not as beefy-built. I’m happy with the red going first, I figure the white will just take longer to...

    Ideal Cow Condition for all ground beef.

    Probably has more to do with tracking of mixed batch hamburger than anything. Can you imagine the issue if the big packers didn’t have to keep an inspector on hand🙄
