Is there a reason? Is the meat nasty as they grow older? I doubt it’ll get us sick, lol. I’m just curious.

The value of an animal depends on many factors including how many feed dollars, medical dollars, etc, goes into the production of the animal. If you have to feed and care for an animal for a long time, that value and profit diminishes. Now if it greatly improved the quality of the meat, it might be worth it because you can charge a premium for them, but that’s not the case. The meat degrades with age meaning those dollars are being paid against profit.
