That all depends on the breed and frame-size of the animal. Weights range from over 1500 lbs to under 1000 lbs.
A mature Angus beef typically weighs between 450 to 1,100 kilograms (about 1,000 to 2,400 pounds). The weight can vary based on factors such as age, diet, and genetics. On average, a finished Angus steer ready for market is often around 600 to 800 kilograms.
Mature Bull ~ 1,147 kgs Mature Cow ~ 857 kgs
Bull calves, steer calves, cows and heifers.
The weight of beef obtained from one steer can vary significantly depending on the breed, age, and feeding practices. On average, a finished steer can yield between 400 to 800 pounds of retail cuts after processing. Factors like the animal's live weight and the dressing percentage (typically around 60-65%) also influence the final yield.
The average weight of a full-grown beef steer ranges from 1,000 to 1,400 pounds, with some reaching up to 1,800 pounds. The weight can vary based on the breed of the steer and factors such as diet and genetics.

A beef cow or a beef steer (castrated male bovine).
The average hanging weight of a 20-month-old Hereford Angus steer typically ranges from 600 to 800 pounds. Factors such as diet, genetics, and overall health can influence this weight. Generally, beef cattle at this age are well-developed, contributing to a substantial hanging weight when processed.
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.
