A few years ago when I did my first one myself realtree.com had a good read and a chart on how to do it. IMHO let it hang for a week to 10 days if the weather permits, it will make a big difference in the tenderness of the meat. If they eat here like the do in Kansas it will take some time for the meat to start to spoil, grain fed animals spoil faster from the acid they ingest thru the grain ( cow's ). The big thing you have to worry about are the fly's. From my experience the firs time plan on a full day if you are going to grind any of it and mix you burger with some beef tallow. Go slow, think about what you are doing and study their bone structure before you start and thing will go much better with a minimum of waste.
