[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 833096, member: 6291"] What he is saying that they do not put on the weight because of lack of testosterone. There is some truth to that because a steer will not bulk up like a bull calf. The theory is that there is more usable weight on a steer than a bull calf so buyers are willing to pay more per pound. The larger the calf is when its sold... supposedly... the more emphasis they put on it being cut or not. I cut some when it can be easily done but do not sweat it if I miss a group. I've never seen that much of a price difference to go too far out of the way to get it done. [/QUOTE]
