[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1608679, member: 968"] db - Cornell used to have a steer program. We delivered after weaning, had a start-up period, then fed out. Got a report every 28 days. I used to put 5 steers on it each year. Consistently, they averaged 1350# at 13 months old. Always was the top "Profit" group. Was a great program to see what your cattle were actually doing. Since I breed everything for a FEMALE, I was always happy with the results. Used to drive the Extension Specialist nuts, because my Purebreds out-performed crossbreds - totally wrong!!! LOL Now, I have developed a small freezer trade, but I only have a "space" to feed out steers during the summer. So, my fall born steers are the only ones I can feed out, and they have to be gone by "winter" because I don't have a place to keep them separated from females. So, they are born Sept or Oct and get butchered in October (before butcher gets jammed up with venison). They easily get to 1200# at 12-13 months old. Lowest carcass has been about 650# (heifer) - up to 850#. [/QUOTE]
