[QUOTE="cattlemom, post: 122132, member: 2222"] Another thing that I would consider if you are going to try to sell 4-H steers is the frame he is going to give the calves. Of course we want them to have a lot of bone, but if this guy is 2800 lbs & not fat (there is no fat in his brisket at all that I can tell) I wonder how big those steers are going to have to be before they start to put fat on. For our program we like 51-52 inch hip heights that will finish really fat at 1350-1450 lbs. I know they do like them bigger in the midwest though. I'm not saying he wouldn't work - just throwing out another thing to think about.... [/QUOTE]
