21 days usually.How long are they going to age it? The one we took in February hung for 14 days and the processor said would have like longer but needed the space.
It's an interesting room. Our friends have one with their processing area.I took the second steer to the slaughterhouse a while ago.
It was not exactly planned for today.
I had gotten him to get on the trailer yesterday afternoon for food. I figured once he got on and got fed and was able to come and go we would be good to go when we were going to take him.
Talked to Maurine last night and she was going to call Tim at the slaughterhouse to find out which day would be best.
Well Maurine's friend is helping take care of the animals while she Is out of town. She saw the steer get on the trailer and she went ahead and shut the door on him.
Maurine called Tim and he said "bring him on".
So, I was at work and had to leave to go do that.
At least it is done.
I found out the first steer's hanging weight is 812 lbs. So, if that is 65% of live weight then he was 1249 lbs.
I went into the room where they age them. I wish I had my camera.
Girls got home from Madison Wed at 2:30 am. Drove through a lot of bad weather on the way home.
@Hens and Roos Maurine said that Madison is a beautiful city, but what's up with all of the bicycles? She said she had never seen so many people riding bikes in her entire life. And some are fairly aggressive and feel they have the right of way even if you have the green light, they will just keep on trucking.
