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.
Dairy cows are usually allowed to have 4 or 5 lactations before slaughter. Their production decreases after this time and they are considered spent.
A slaughter cow is a mature female bovine that has already given birth at least once or twice and has been culled from the breeding herd to be sent to slaughter.
Cull cows can be put on pasture, or fed a mix of hay and grain before slaughtering them. It's advisable to put them on a bit of grain so that the meat doesn't taste to strong or is tough. Of course how the meat turns out depends on the breed and how long it is hung for.
