[QUOTE="somn, post: 479863, member: 3721"] That quote was weights for highland cross steers. Not purebreds. A person need not look at the website for very long to realize those people are without a clue. Those figures are all over the board They claim the dressed weight for a 1000# steer will average between 590# and 480# but the paragraph before that one they tell us a half of their beef will average between 175# and 225#. They are maybe using the boxed beef weights in that instance but selling dressed weights in doing so they are misleading the customer in my opinion. I guess it takes all kinds. Or maybe they were using actual dressed weights making a whole steer dressing at 350# to 450#. That would make 600# to 760# live weight. That however would be about right for a 24 month old highland steer. [/QUOTE]
