[QUOTE="traderaaron, post: 756100, member: 13840"] 1000lb. steers generally receive a large discount in price. The determination of the finishing on grass part is largely dependent on whether the animal has the genetics and frame capable of finishing on grass. What was the weight of his momma cow, if it's 1000-1100 and she is a thick and well fleshed animal then you are likely to be able to finish on grass as long as the energy is there. Animals finish at a percent of their cows weight and heavily influence by genetics, assuming you aren not going to implant and supplement with a high energy feed like you would do in a feedlot type setting. If it's a really large frame cow you may have greater difficulty in putting on that finishing weight if your feed isn't high enough energy. Will your feed have the quality to put on the final finishing pounds and fat heading into the Fall or is your highest energy feed right now? [/QUOTE]
