Beef cattle are more productive than they were 100 or 200 years ago. They reach puberty at a much younger age as well as are ready to slaughter at a much younger age than they were in the 1800's. They are readily better converters at grain and grass, depending on what they are selected for (more producers are selecting for cows that gain faster on grass over grain), and larger in body size than they were 100 or 200 years ago.
