[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1225972, member: 16453"] mwj, it varies a lot but just locally here we are considered to be good breeding country rather than finishing country. Our local weaner sales will draw buyers from well down south, the weaners from here have a reputation of doing pretty well for the buyers. I think in actual fact it is because our country is pretty ordinary the calves do a lot better when they get onto good country. But back to your question the weaners (250-350kg) get sold to backgrounders who will put them onto good pasture and or winter forage cereals and bring them up to feedlot entry weights where they get fed for the local domestic market usually 100 days or the long fed Japanese market up to 300 days I think. Some buyers will grow them out on grass and forage crops and sell them as bullocks at around the 600kg mark. Some well conditioned weaners will get bought by butchers as vealers. Ken [/QUOTE]
