  1. On average what does a half weight and average butcher fee?

    An 1100 steer should hang at approx. 660 lbs. So a half would be approx. 330 lbs hanging weight. The butcher charges .49/lb on the hanging weight. So butcher fees on a half would be approx. $165ish. There is a form you fill out for butcher which tells him what you would like for cuts. It comes labeled and vacuumed sealed.

  2. Do you finish with Grains/Corn?

    Yes- Usually we put them up in the finish pen the last 2-3 months and feed them corn and some spent brewers grain that I get from local brewery.  Once in a while we will get a customer that doesn't want them finished on corn/grain (more grass fed) and that can be done    That being said- I think the best tasting beef comes from the finished cows. 

  3. post-139586-0-05217200-1454802418_thumb.jpgFor sale- whole, halves, or quarter sides of 100% black angus beef. We raise all natural (hormone, antibiotic free) angus beef. They graze all summer and have the best quality of locally sourced feed during the winter. Perfect for the freezer and grill. $ 3.25 a lb hanging weight plus butcher fees. Cut a wrapped to your specs. Once you try this you wont want store bought again!!!

  4. Cool pics!!!!  My son hit and killed a 7 point buck with one of our work trucks on Thursday ($4500.00 in damage- ouch). It was just starting to lose its velvet as well. A guy that does mounts stopped and offered to do this mount for free as he wanted to try one in velvet. It turned out pretty nice.  I'd rather have the rack attached to the living deer and not have a mangled truck though.

  5. It's probably my last sit of the year. It's been a tough year for me in central ny. I shot one opening day and only have seen one small doe since. I'm almost looking forward to putting the loader away and breaking out the steelhead rods. Toughest year in quite a while for me. Reading about the success on this thread is what got me out of bed several mournings. Good luck to those still trying to put one more in the freezer

  6. Dang Jakeybaby- If you ever need help thinning them big bucks just out let me know :rofl:  :rofl: . It was tough sledding on the property I hunt. We haven't even been seeing anything. I shot a doe opening mourning and a buddy shot a nice 10 pointer but the deer seemed to disappear this year.
