I was wondering if some of you that are experencied at growing off your own family beef could give me some advise.My guestions are as follows: What age, are weight should I pull a bull calf off her mother to start growing him off for beef? I've heard to give them all the hay they can eat with plenty of fresh water and some say cracked corn is better and others say whole has for protein, Which one and how much of it per day? Are would a different kind of feed that has oats be better, again How much per day for one?
At what weight or age do I shot for before slaugther,and how long should this take? Is a certain time of year better? How much differents is it going to make if it is a bull verses a steer in meat quality? Some saw they will grow off faster and better to do two at a time rather than one,is there any truth ot that? Does it make much differents growing one off in a barn veres a lot?Are there any should nots, I should be informed of? Any other info that you could suggest would be helpful. Thanks.
