[QUOTE="Wooly, post: 7491858, member: 3924"] All females are sold for breeding heifers, except for a very few. I sell some steers as stores to a neighbouring farmer at 12-15 months old, that eventually end up in a local butchers shop at 23-25 months old. A perfect carcass size for the butcher at 315-350Kg. I finish several and box beef them. We do try and not feed anything concentrates. I did abit this year on one herd due to the severe drought we had and serious lack of forage. Luckily our cattle can live off large quantities of straw. Our organic herd are forage fed only and are zero concentrate fed. [/QUOTE]
