I've done some looking around for this answer and haven't found a very concise answer. What is the best age, in regards to profitability, to take calves (steers and cull heifers) to the sale barn? I've seen some say around 6 months or weening time, some say around a year, some say older. I'll be buying hay for my herd this winter so for my calves that were born this spring is it better for me to sell them in the fall so that I don't have to over-winter them or would it be better to feed them until spring rolls back around and they are yearlings or should I wait longer to sell them?
