Feeders refer to calves and yearlings, both steers and heifers, that are carrying more weight and/or finish than stockers, which are ready to be placed on high-energy rations for finishing and slaughtering. Thus, feeder cattle on a grain diet generally take 3 to 4 months (7 to 8 months for calves) to reach Choice grade and be ready for slaughter.
