That really depends on how that steer is being finished, what breed it is and how much meat (determined by size of the carcass) you want. There are different breeds that tend to reach carcass maturity a lot later than others, and how that particular steer is finished also affects the rate of finish that steer undergoes. For most steers in the feedlot, they are kept until they are around 18 to 22 months of age upon which time they are slaughtered. On grass, they wouldn't be slaughtered until they reach around 24 to 30 months of age. Steers that are very late maturing (like Jerseys, Holsteins, and Highlands), may not be slaughtered until they're at least 30 months old.

What is live weight in livestock production?
"Live weight" refers to how much the animal in question weighs just before going through the slaughter line. The term is used as a comparison to post-slaughter weight, called "carcass weight" or "hanging weight" so that slaughter loss (head, tail, hooves, organs, and blood) can be measured.

Their both one and the same, actually. But live cattle are cattle that are alive, walking around, hearing, seeing, smelling feeling creatures. Feeder cattle are live cattle that are fed in a drylot situation prior to slaughter.

What is the average daily weight gain of cattle from birth to a slaughter weight of 1100 to 1200 pounds?
It depends on the diet of the cow, the birth weight and the live weight at slaughter. A typical steer on a grain diet in a feedlot will reach 1100 lbs in 15 months. He might start out with a birth weight of 85 lbs (ranging from 65-110 lbs). So his average daily gain from birth to slaughter would be 2.25 lbs. On a forage diet, it may take 18-24 months to reach 1100 lbs.
