No, because it is impractical, let alone impossible, to be able to do so. The effectiveness of a hormone implant lasts for, at most, 2 weeks or around 14 days (some will be active for less), and the standard re-implant window (and hence, "optimum payout period" for the feedlot producer) is from 50 to 100 days, depending on the type of implant. It is infeasible, uneconomical and impractical for a producer to implant a steer one day and then two or three days later have it slaughtered (especially when implants cost a producer $1 per animal: you might not think it much, but it adds up). It makes more sense to implant a feedlot steer, feed it up for another month or two before shipping it off to slaughter in order for the producer to hit that optimum payout period and make the most of those implants. It's a complete waste of money to do otherwise.
