Took this guy in Friday. All grass, no grain 18 mo old Jersey steer. Hanging 456, live appox 760. We decided to just take one since they are still small, let the other two grow out on the early summer grass. We are excited to see how it tastes. We've had Flint Hills raised grass finished Angus, so it will be interesting to see how Jersey on local grass compares. On the next two we are going to finish one on 90 days of grain and the other just grass to do a side by side comparison (pun intended).

Took mine to the processor on Monday, hanging weight was 562, not bad for an 18 month old dairy steer.

Here's a couple steaks we cooked up from our Jersey steer. The cuts are all small but we were pleased with the marbling and its got great flavor.

They have been on pasture and hay, and every day sense May1st they get a 1.5% body weight grain ration. I'm shooting for a 900# live weight

Update:

Steers went the day they were supposed to....

Hanging weights were 497 and 495

All customers were very happy including myself. We did 14 day dry age and they are unbelievable.

Each of these steers got 1150lbs of grain over a 180 days. Absolutely fantastic table fair.
