∙ 13y agoIt depends on what kind of beef you want. Most folks like to add a little bit of grain 1 to 3 weeks prior to slaughter along with the hay and/or grass they are eating. The maximum amount of grain you should give your beefer is from 10 to 25 lbs per day. If you are looking for beef with a more grass-fed taste, then you should keep them on grass and/or feed them high-quality hay. If you are looking for a beefer that is grass-fed but doesn't have as strong a grass-fed taste, grain them a couple weeks prior to slaughter.
The best grain to feed is barley or oats. Barley has a higher protein content and lower fibre content than corn does; oats has a little lower protein content and more fibre. Feed the grain slowly in increments to avoid bloat and acidosis. Also remember to keep water and mineral accessible at all times, and let the animal have free access to good-quality hay as well.

Of course when you say "cow" you are talking about a female that has had at least 1 calf,with that in mind its not really the age of a "cow" that is important.With the exception of a very old cow the real driving factor is how much freezer space do you have?

Quality of the meat is dependent upon your taste preference and how long and type of feeds used to "feed out" the animal before slaughter
