[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14954"] Depends if you mean weaned calves or finished steers. This can be any breed: Calves are usually weaned around 7 months, and sold as feeders - weighing between 450 and 850. Depending on location & quality of herd. Finished steers would be sold anywhere from 12 months to 24 months, depending on feedlot program & quality of steer - weighing between 1000# & 1300#. GENERALLY, you're looking at a 7 month weaned calf weighing 600-700#, and a 14-16 month old steer weight 1100-1250#. Hope this helps - very variable.
