Four Legged Friends

[Lineman]

You’ve piqued my interest in the breed. What is the average on the hoof weight before slaughter? Without doing any research, I would assume you could have around twice as many head per acre compared to traditional Black Angus. Am I way off or does that sound about right?

I haven’t butchered any yet but my friend raises them as well and has. I think he took one in that was 450 and got back 320-340#, will have to ask for sure but I know they yield 70-75%, usually so lean can only hang for a week or it’ll dry out. When the weather gets cool enough I plan on butchering a yearling, I will be doing it myself they’re just a tad bigger then a muley and smaller then an elk.
3/acre is what I run normally, will be at that number again in November hopefully. Going to take some to the sale.
If we would have got more rain my pasture would have been fine but no rain so hay almost the whole year.
