Boarman03 Report post Posted December 23, 2021 Total yield has many variables but runs roughly in the 40% - 60% of live weight. People who raise them like the OP and myself raise cleaner, healthier animals. Sad thing is, it typically costs us more to raise them than we get. If you add up water, 1/4 bale of hay per day plus the grain for the last few months over a two, almost three year time, plus the labor, there is no profit. Pasture helps, but it has to be irrigated, fertilized, and planted. Still adds up. I raise a couple so I may have some if I need it knowing what I fed them. I'm lucky if I break even. Millers Is a great company and great people. Not many slaughter houses/processors around anymore. It is a lot of work, even with the right equipment. Nice animal. Should be great eating. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
