When should you sell a beef calf?

A beef calf can be sold when it is being weaned, which is when it is between 6 and 10 months of age. Some beef calves aren't sold until they are yearlings, which is the time they get to be stockered or backgrounded on their home place. Other operations retain ownership of the calves even through the finishing phase, if these same operations have ownership of a feedlot, and sell the calves only at the time of slaughter.
