   Re shooting, I prefer to shoot them in the back of the head / back of the ear with a centre fire. That way if you get a pass through the bullet doesnt end up in the body. Stick up close to the base...

   If you do separate them put a cow or the steer with him or it won't settle and will try to get back with the others. Best is to drop it where it stands and let its mate go into another pen or paddock...

   Yes, the cost gets to us too. When we homekill now, we shoot in late July (coldest time of the year here at 600m ASL in the CNI), skin and gut hanging from the front end loader, then hang on the...

   If you kill them at home and cut them into quarters to hang and handle there is probably a retired butcher around or an apprentice who would cut them up for you on an hourly rate.

   The pain is real serious and can knock them around. Also the 'purse' is so leathery that it doesnt dry out but will rot off ( unless the balls are cut out so you need the vet) and likely there will...

   Waaay too big to steer now. Would cost quite a bit for the vet to do it. Can't send to the works. Trucks won't take them with those horns. At that age its an expensive exercise to get the horns...

    The bulls are big enough but they are not 'prime' and not a good beef type cross shape, not like say a Speckled Park cross would look like. What I would do is wean them now and 'grain' finish them....

    Lol yeah the shenanigans those lectures get up to aye :) The milk may add a bit more fat to their diet, so you may get a bit more marbling or subcutaneous fat possibly. Bit more protein too...

    Eat it, yum! Grew up on dairy farm in dairy-beef days. Late cycle cows got AB straw for Simmintel. Calf partnered up with a three titter and sent to back of farm, 2 calves per cow. At 14-16mths they...

    If you are going to eat it you want to kill it before 2 year old 18mths is best before they start working and smashing fences. If keeping for eating steers are better. When processing the bull don't...

    Yeah, nah. All the stomachs are still there, but the milk will be going into the rumen (1st stomach) rather than bypassing it straight to the abomasum (4th stomach) as happens in calves. But overall...

    Go for it. We used to run a house cow and the best beef we ever had was the rising two year old still sucking on mum.
