I like to butcher at 24-27 months old... and I can provide birthdate to the processor... whom we KNOW, so that they don't think we are trying to put something over on them .... some calves will get their "adult teeth" a little earlier or a little later.
You can get the backbone, the ox tail and as many bones as possible... backbones do good being cooked along with "ribs"... more meat on them... make good soup too.
You get more flavor at 24 months than at 18 months... and better marbling "older rather than younger" since they are mostly grass fed...
