350 Questions

When should you butcher a black angus steer?

Depends on what you're looking for in the meat.

First of all, the facts that your bovine is a steer and is of the black angus breed are practically irrelevant. Most any breed of beef cattle and both sexes will butcher similarly given similar conditions of development.

Typically cattle are butchered when they are nearing nine months to sixteen months of age. This is the time frame when they are nearing or reaching their full size. Allowing meat cattle to go beyond this time frame will most likely result in tougher, more stringy meat (aka meat of poorer quality). However, the time frame in which you butcher your animal can depend largely on if they have reached the size and fat content that you desire. My family always butchered our steers and heifers around nine to ten months of age.

If by "when" you mean what time of year, then that is a silly question. I guess that all depends on when you want the meat, how long you want it to last, and when your steer reaches the right age range/weight.

What age do stop breeding angus cow?

Age is not a factor. Reproductive ability, temperament, health, teeth, udder conformation, mothering ability and other factors are determinants to make a producer to consider stop breeding an Angus cow and ship her to the auction. Rarely are cows kept until they die of old age. If they were, and are no longer productive at ~20 years of age (plus or minus a few years), then they are no longer bred and allowed to live out their days in the pasture instead of being sent to slaughter. Though as mentioned this is rare, it does happen, especially if that cow is too special to a producer to want to let her go to be turned into dog food or hamburger.
