[QUOTE="andybob, post: 394424, member: 2703"] It is common practice in parts of Europe, notably Germany to finish bulls up to 18 months as 'Baby beef' taking advantage of the better growth and leaness of the bulls, and slaughtering before they are old enough to develop the dark colouring associated with older bull beef. Two farmers ran trials on bull finishing, publishing their results in 'Cattleworld' magazine in 1980, attaining above average weight gains while achieving acceptable grades at slaughter. Ian Hunter of Barnhill Estate, Marandellas, was finishing at 12 months, Roy Mcllwaine of Larkhill Estate, Marandelas, was finishing at 18 months. [/QUOTE]
