Holstein dairy steers typically exhibit an average growth rate of about 2 to 3 pounds per day, depending on factors such as diet, health, and environmental conditions. Under optimal management, they can reach weights of around 1,200 to 1,400 pounds by 15 to 18 months of age. Proper nutrition and care are crucial to achieving and maintaining this growth rate.

What types of meat requires the most grain and water to produce one pound?
Beef, especially that from a dairy steer. It takes around 9 lbs of grain to produce a pound of ready-to-eat beef, on average. With a dairy steer though, it may take more than that likely 12 to 15 lbs of grain to make a lb of beef from a Jersey or Holstein steer, a lot more than that needed for a Charolais or Angus-Charolais-cross steer. As for water, that's a bit more variable since there's a lot of factors to take into account before an actual measure of how many lbs, or gallons or liters or whatever of water it takes to make one pound of ready-to-eat beef.

How much corn does it take for a steer to gain 1 pound?
For such a general question, it requires a general answer: It depends on the steer and the type of feed corn being used to feed that steer. There is some sort of general "rule of thumb" out there that it takes around 9 lbs of grain to get one pound of beef, but that is pretty ambiguous. It takes more pounds of corn to get a pound of gain on a Holstein steer than it would on an Angus steer, for instance. Also, cracked corn will get a steer to gain more weight than whole corn will.

How do you raise a steer for self consumption?
It isn't to hard. First decide if you want a holstein or a beef like an angus, hereford, simmetal, etc. Make sure you have a shed and a place to go outside. They dont have to go outside but, Me personally think theydo better when they can have fresh air. If you would have an outside pen make sure it is a good fence because cattle are strong, (I know from expirence). Make sure they have bedding. Bedding is usually corn stalks or straw. You feed it corn and protein, or silage. If it is a holstein steer feed it no hay at all they will get a hay belly and wont do good. If it is a beef steer feed it a little hay and grain. When it reaches anywhere from 1200-1400 lbs butcher the steer.Their is a lot of meat in a steer so you can sell half a beef and still have enough for you and your family. I hope this helps some people out. Thanks!
