Depends entirely on who you are and where you want to take them. There's a USDA inspected plant here where I prefer to take everything. I know they won't make me look bad. I took one there two weeks ago today that had only been scheduled since the Friday before. They'd had a cancellation and a guy who delivers to them and buys one from me every year was able to get the spot.
I took one to a place up around the corner from RayP yesterday to be killed this morning. That appointment was made in January. Royse had an appointment to get one of mine in to a Mennonite shop in March. He made that appointment in November I believe it was, but I got him in to the USDA plant in January on a cancellation. I stopped at the Mennonite place on the way home from dropping his off to change his to another guy who wanted one. That guy wasn't sure of having the money by March, so we bumped that one out to April 13. From about late March on out, he had a lot of spots available.
The trouble with being so far out, with somebody just raising one in the back yard, getting the weight right must be a challenge. When we took that one two weeks ago, there was a couple there ahead of us with one in a horse trailer. It must have been their first time there because they were just standing there behind the trailer. My wife was going inside to get some pork and she told them you have to unload your own and fill out the barn sheet. They said they'd gone inside and somebody was coming out to help them. When that little black steer jumped out of there, there was no way he was ready. He didn't come up beyond the guys navel. I doubt he weighed over 900 pounds.
While the wife was inside, somebody called for an appointment and they told them June 2022. Like I said though, if you want to just go someplace and roll the dice with quality, you can get one in somewhere in probably 3 months or so.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
