Here is ours.. a 19 month old jersey will be sent in November.

Wanted to see who else is getting ready to fill their freezer soon!

Jackson is a short legged Dexter. He is destined for 1/2 to go into my freezer and 1/2 to be served at the 2015 ADCA AGM.

 

[CrabbyChicken]

He looks just about ready!!! Sounds like he is going to make a lot of people happy!

 

[bja105]

Max won't be ready until next fall, unless he gets even pushier. He is not shy, and he's getting big enough that its not cute anymore.

 

[CowPoke]

Not sure what all breed he is but Long Horn X What would your guess be? I bought him yesterday at 390lbs... Ways to go

 

[CrabbyChicken]

Nice looking cattle! Cowpoke did they just castrate him? Neat color pattern on him. I am not sure what he is mixed with. Thanks for sharing.

These bratty boys will be off to the butcher in November. They are 17 month old all grass jerseys.

 

[CowPoke]

Yes, I had him dehorned and casterated in one stop after the auction. Im a Brangus cow/calf crop w a few goats and also raise show calves and some beef bottle babies. Im new here. Nice to meet your text.

This is a fun thread! Nice to meet you too! We started raising our own beef and pork about 4 years ago. This website has been so great and helping me learn to try and raise them the best ways.

danniulrich05 those steers look nice! Wish we had grass right now. I have been using hay since July. And now grain feeding too. How much do you think they will weight when you send them in?

Good looking bunch of beef, I'll try to post one today....The flavor is in the fat...Topsid

 

[CrabbyChicken]

Yay Topside! Your jerseys always look amazing!

 

[topside1]

Here's my beef, he said "it's not his best side." His fatal appointment is on Nov 28th and he's not looking forward to it. Just started him on whole corn once a day for about 7 days now. Will boost him up to twice a day whole corn at the day draws near....Topside

I'm hoping they are at 900lbs. This my first try with grass finishing and jerseys so we will see. I had a show steer in highschool that was 1250 at 17 months old. These guys seem so scrawny.

Bubba was born in April. 1/2 Hersey, 1/2 black. I bought the cow pregnant. No details on the bull. He will go to camp in 2016--if I have the heart. He is such a cuddle bug.

THis guy tried to kick me last week. But all will be forgiven on Wed when he leaves for freezer camp.

Next years steer.

 

[Ziptie]

Just sent our two steers to auction.Freezer is still full from last year. Got an ok price but took a hit as they were only grass feed and here in Iowa that is a bad thing.

 

[CrabbyChicken]

Nice pics everyone!

Janij what type of cattle is that. They are pretty!

They are British White cows. They are pretty docile, easy calvers and good mommas. We like them. We raise them and Jerseys.

So what are people now selling grass fed beef hanging weight? I have one scheduled yo go in for slaughter on Nov 11. WE will start finishing him with chaffhaye( bagged alfafa) soon.

Lambert (15 months old) is ready to go in the spring and Cheese (11 months old) will go next fall. Cheese got big this summer he escaped into an alfalfa field and weights more then his older 1/2 brother. I just took one in this week that was a Jersey/Angus so I'm set for a little while so these two can grow.
