Frequently Asked Questions


Q:   Are Angus/Herford mix steers between 700-900 lbs ready for slaughter?

A:   Probably not. Most steers will finish and be ready for harvest when they weigh between 1100 and 1300 pounds. British breed cross calves like what you have will likely finish between 1100 and 1200 pounds.
