Buff, is there an echo in here?

I was going to say 18 months, too. That means you have to feed it over the winter.

Bulls? Have'em snipped.

Can you store a couple hundred pounds of beef? We have one whole freezer dedicated to beef, one to chicken and everything else.

I don't know how much I could store. My freezer is medium sized chest type, but I know how to make a load of jerky

Please don't make jerky out of porterhouses and t-bones.

Yeah thatd be YOU! I come in here and see you havent posted and start to write and guess what we post at the same time....

 

[BarredBuff]

I think I can do that

Its gross......

You can either cut them or band them.

Band them probably. dunno if I could cut

If you band watch out for infection and stuff.

yeah, they will be 40 miles away though, so that will be difficult. This is why I am a bit aprehensive about taking on such a huge responsibility.

Okay, we've agreed on a few things:

- turn them into steers
- grow 'em until about 18 months old

 

[BarredBuff]

I see.

FJ- When we had cows that was likely using the bathroom, standard procedure. Yeah they probably wont be infected.

18 months is a loooooong time. How big will they be at about 10? I can't handle two whole full grown steers minus what little bit of meat they want.
