It isn't to hard. First decide if you want a holstein or a beef like an angus, hereford, simmetal, etc. Make sure you have a shed and a place to go outside. They dont have to go outside but, Me personally think theydo better when they can have fresh air. If you would have an outside pen make sure it is a good fence because cattle are strong, (I know from expirence). Make sure they have bedding. Bedding is usually corn stalks or straw. You feed it corn and protein, or silage. If it is a holstein steer feed it no hay at all they will get a hay belly and wont do good. If it is a beef steer feed it a little hay and grain. When it reaches anywhere from 1200-1400 lbs butcher the steer.Their is a lot of meat in a steer so you can sell half a beef and still have enough for you and your family.
I hope this helps some people out.
Thanks!

How many acres of grain are needed to raise a steer compared to the acres of grass it takes to raise a steer?
This all depends on the kind of grain you are feeding that steer, since there are different levels of crude proteins, TDNs, ADF's, etc., that comes with different grains. And the acres of grass depends on where you live and how much forage biomass grows in that particular area. So all those factors that are missing in this question make it impossible to answer. Typically, though, it takes more pasture to raise one steer than it does to raise a steer on grain. But how much is unknown at this point.
