What age can you casterate your beef bull?
The younger the better. Sometimes though, castrating at weaning age is also the best because then you take advantage of the growth spurt that bull calves have over steer calves. But if this is a mature bull we're talking about here (which certainly sounds like it), don't cut him. Just send him to the slaughter house and get some beef off of him. The beef would/should be as good quality as getting it from an older grass-fed steer, depending on the bull's diet.
506 pounds hanging weight what is live weight of brown Swiss steer?
Assuming that the hanging weight of the BS steer is 40% of the liveweight of that steer, then the liveweight may be around 1265 lbs, which is around the optimum slaughter weight of a brown Swiss steer.Keep in mind that the Brown Swiss breed is a dairy breed, which means that you won't get as much meat off of the carcass as you will with other beef breeds including Angus, Charolais, Simmental or Shorthorn. So when I say it is a dairy breed, I mean that it does not put on muscle and fat as efficiently as the beef breeds listed.Thus, if you had to slaughter a beef steer and not a dairy steer, you would definitely have a higher percentage hanging weight than the one I calculated for you. So, to compensate for the type of animal you had slaughtered AND the breed it was, you have to calculate for a lower percentage of hanging weight of that steer.Now if I calculated the hanging weight to a higher percentage, say 75% or 55%, the liveweight would be the following:Hanging weight (506 lbs) is 75% of liveweight = 674 lbs liveweightHanging weight (506 lbs) is 55% of liveweight = 920 lbs liveweightNeither of the above make any sense because, for one, they do not account for the type of animal in question, nor do they count for the viscera, blood, head, tail, and legs which come from the animal. Hanging weight being 75% of the liveweight is ridiculously high, and 55% of the liveweight is also ludicrous because both percentages don't take into account the fact that a brown Swiss steer is a dairy steer (poorer ability to put on weight in muscle and fat than beef steers), and the amount of "waste" that has to be removed before it is hanged for a few weeks.
