[QUOTE="recurveman, post: 470881, member: 7414"] I'm looking to get a calve or two to put into the back acre. I've got a few questions and I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. What is the difference between a heifer and steer? I know one is/was a boy and the other is a girl but what kind of differences am I going to see at the table and how they gain weight? What are the best types of calves to get? Angus, herferd, mix? How do you tell them apart at an auction? What should I look for in a calve at an auction? I'm thinking about getting two. I've got about 3/4 of an acre of pasture and I'm more than happy to get hay to feed them. There is plenty of cow hay in my part of the world. Thanks for the help. If I'm missing something that is obvious for a first timer don't hesitate to give me some advice. Chad [/QUOTE]
