[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 517634, member: 13"] We don't know how any of them will marble. But heifers do tend to marble better than steers, steers better than bulls. Heifers also gain at a slower rate than steers....generally. When a female bovine is born, she's a heifer. After she has a calf, she's a cow. A bull is a bull from the day he hits the ground until he dies, unless he's castrated and becomes a steer. Check with your local vets and get charges for castration. Or ask the owners of the animals to get it done for you before deliver/pick up. That would be my choice. It's stressful on a calf to be castrated :shock: and they need time to recover. Also be sure they've been vaccinated. Vaccinations are not antibiotics and they may keep him/her alive and healthy while you're growing him out. [/QUOTE]
