[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 6520043, member: 1048"] Do not feed the calves hay, just about the worst thing you can feed young calves! Feed straw with haylage if you have it but not hay! Back to the OP, if you can keep them until they are about 18 months old and sell them in April/May time, Fri steers are at their dearest then, I certainly wouldn't advise selling them at 12 months old next autumn as that's just about the worst time to sell Fri steers! Good strong steers at 18 months old were making £770/790 head back this spring, they would only make £630/70 now! [/QUOTE]
