[QUOTE="tenmile, post: 790745, member: 14927"] Fescue pasture fed in the spring, summer, and fall. Hay and a little corn in the winter. North Missouri. My question is this. If I have a steer butchered in March at 1000 lbs and want to buy another steer or heifer to replace him so I can have it butchered in 3 years, what weight should I buy? My plan is to have 3 on the farm and every spring butcher one and then replace it with another. Kind of a 3 cow rotation. My thoughts are to winter the 3 and then butcher the 1000lbs steer in the spring and buy a new young steer/heifer in the spring instead of doing it in the fall and have to winter a very young cow/calf. 1000 lbs. now ? lbs. a year earlier ? lbs. a year earlier ? lbs. when I purchase for replacment. I realize yearly gains will vary and I will have to adjust as time goes on. I have no past records to go by so I at least need an educated quess to start with. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
