I've always finished out steers, how do heifers finish out? Would there be any advantages to butchering one over the other?
Was that one raised and finished on 100% grass only?These steaks came from a heifer I processed. Had her with a bull for 90 days and tried AI 4 times. She was much better on the grill than on the pasture.

Thank you! I think it will be more beneficial for me to stick with steers.Hfrs finish smaller so they finish faster. They do come with problems though. Hfrs come in heat, causing disruption in a pen of cattle. Hfrs prolapse. Hfrs get knocked up.
Feeding hfrs has its place. We feed both, but I prefer feeding strs.

They were trimmed a little bit before they hit the grill.Rockdale - very well marbled - but way too fat for me.
