So, do we see a lot of Prime and Choice cuts out of Ole Bossy?
I’m not a butcher but I figure an eight year old milker should turn out a few Choice cuts, no Prime though. She’s too old for that. She doesn’t go thru the feed lot for fattening, from the farm to the auction house to the knife. Depending on what she’s been fed, how long she was out in cold rain or wind, what part of the country she’s from the rest is either going to be Select or Standard.
It’s one tough business, Pedro. There is a constant search for the most economical diet that is nutritious enough to have her bare calves without too much physical degradation of the mother. The milking industry is one of the most competitive businesses to be in. I wouldn’t even consider it.
