I bought some 450 lb steers and I was just wondering what I should get them up to . They will be strictly on grass so I don't expect them to weigh more thah 700 before I run out of grass. Is that a good weight or should I throw a little grain at them for the last month
Last year in June, I purchased a few beef calves weighting about 400 Lbs. and grazed them until October when I harvested them. They weighted about 600 lbs at harvest. I sold the calves at $3.50 lb. hanging weight. They were grass fed, no growth hormons, and natural beef. There is a market for this age and type beef. It is extreamely tender and tasty although it is lean. There is a market for this type of beef, if you live in an area near a city that has educated professional people; like a univeristy city.
My last years customers are already asking if I plan to do it again.
