A steer should be slaughtered when it has reached optimal market weight and condition, typically between 1,200 to 1,400 pounds, depending on the breed and intended meat quality. Additionally, factors such as age, health, and feed efficiency should be considered, as well as the current market demand for beef. Timing also plays a role; for example, having the animal ready for seasonal market peaks can maximize profitability. Ultimately, the decision should balance animal welfare with economic considerations.

How much oil does it take to raise a steer to slaughter?
Raising a steer to slaughter typically requires about 2,000 to 5,000 gallons of oil, depending on various factors such as farming practices, feed types, and transportation. This oil is used indirectly through the production of feed, operating machinery, and transportation logistics. The energy input reflects the overall resource intensity of beef production, including both fossil fuels and feed resources. Ultimately, the exact amount can vary widely based on specific farming operations and efficiencies.
How much does cow weigh at slaughter?
For most cattle raised for the purpose of being slaughtered in the first place (being steers and non-breeding or non-productive heifers), and that are raised on conventional feedlots, the average slaughter weight is around 1400 lbs. However, this is only average, since most cattle are slaughtered on a grade scale, not weight. Cattle must have a grade of Select, Choice or Prime (preferably the latter two) in order to be deemed ready to "harvest." Such animals appear to be on the verge of being overweight because no skeletal features are showing on their frame, and they are very deep in the hips and round as well as in the barrel and ribs. They have quite a round rump, with a ring of fat starting at the tail-head. For those who raise their own slaughter steers or heifers, quite often they may choose to slaughter at a lighter weight: some may choose to slaughter when the steer is around 1100 to 1200 lbs, some even less. Of course this all depends on the breed that is being finished and what slaughter weight that particular breed is able to achieve. For example, a Jersey steer will finish at a lighter weight than a Charolais or Angus steer will.
