Is there a reason you grow it that slow? Our spring calves are ready at around 14 months and are fall calves 16 months.


I was wondering the same thing.

I like the top blade and round, either top or bottom. They have very good flavor and I still have good teeth to work them over with.

All my beef is cheap. My parents raise a beef every year, if they found out I bought beef instead of raiding their freezer I’d get an earful lol.

I like grilling a chuck roast like it's a steak. I get ribeye end steaks for $6 a lb. So I eat them pretty regular. It is the first steak cut off the loin and the last. They are not a good even thickness. But a good piece of meat for the price.

I like a fatty chuck.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Is there a reason you grow it that slow? Our spring calves are ready at around 14 months and are fall calves 16 months.

Yup, with a tmr, some people also incorporate pasture. Builds frame and some believe flavor. My 15 monthy olds fatten around 1300 where as my pasture calves fatten around 1500. Makes for a nice check.

All our calves finish around 1500 pounds. Our fall calves are weaned then are on pasture for 5 1/2 months. 330 is taking 2 1/2 year to finish his.

I was wondering if there was a niche market or other reason that they were that age when they slaughter? Are fall calves just get good hay and moms milk till weaning at 7 months were they will around 550. Then 5 1/2 months of grass. They will come of grass about 800 give or take depending on the year. Then a grower ration at the ranch for a month and a half and weighing about 950. Then to feedlot for the last 120 days. Grain in the grower ration and finish ration. We are blessed with some of the best grass there is here in the flinthills. I'm sure that is some of our advantage. If they aren't on good grass or nursing momma it takes grain products to make them grow. Costly nowadays but it shorts up on the time till slaughter.

^now that man knows how to make beef.
I grew up in Nebraska just north of the Flinthills. My Dad loved that country.

Best cheap beef ... sirloin steak @ $3.99. Good blend of fat and meat for flavor.
