Thanks for the reply. Meat would have to be chewy at 24 weeks wouldn’t it? Sounds like I could have either tender meat or a decent dressed weight- but can’t have both.
Does anyone raise White Jersey Giants for meat?
If so- what is the best age to process them to maximize weight and still have tender meat?
We have some and love them so far. But processed a couple hens at 14 weeks and only averaged 2 pounds or so dressed.
Meat is delicious and tender, but...
