@Henarar I would say it was the best performing steer, left the farm at 600kg(560/70 at market) at 20 month selling at £2.59p/kg. Plenty of heavier ones at that age but the p/kg starts dropping and probably eating more.steers don't seem to sell for any more if there big so might as well target the small butcher trade than sticking another 100 kg on it and coming to no more £. I kept the best males as bulls though to get them gone quicker plus it allows me to choose the best to keep as stock bulls.
