[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 461155, member: 3739"] Depends. Some folks keep them for a few months until they're 600 lbs or 800 lbs, or still others keep them for the whole year until they're long yearlings at around 900-1000 lbs. Steers are already castrated. :roll: But there are possibility of coming across a bull calf or two that need to be cut. Cut 'em or band 'em yourself, or with a vet, costs us about (don't quote me on this 'cause i can't quite remember) somewhere around $30-$40/animal depending on the vet. Best time to cut is when you get them (6 months old, 500 lbs). My two cents, asked for or not. [/QUOTE]
