A "full-grown" beef steer would be one that is around 18 to 24 months of age, right before it is slaughtered. His weight would typically be around 1400 lbs, though smaller steers, or ones finished on grass typically are lighter, around 1200 to 1300 lbs.

How much can you sell a steer for?
How much you get for them depend on how much they weigh. You can sell them off hoof for a lower price or you can sell them on the rail, which you get money depending on how much the carcass weighs.

How do people in Argentina alter the environment to increase the amount of beef per cattle?
They don't alter the environment to get more beef per animal. It's the animals themselves that are altered or selected in order to produce more beef at slaughter. The environment really has little to do with the rate of gain and carcass weight of a slaughter steer or heifer.
Does beef that we eat come from male or female cows?
Both, but many cows are used as dairy animals so beef from young animals is more likely to come from bullocks. Beef from older animals is more likely to come from former dairy cows. There is no such thing as a male cow. All cows are female. A bull or a steer is what a cow mates with. From TexasDolly: If you mate a cow (or heifer) with a steer you're not going to have a lot of luck in the breeding department since a steer has been castrated. You live in NY right?

506 pounds hanging weight what is live weight of brown Swiss steer?
Assuming that the hanging weight of the BS steer is 40% of the liveweight of that steer, then the liveweight may be around 1265 lbs, which is around the optimum slaughter weight of a brown Swiss steer.Keep in mind that the Brown Swiss breed is a dairy breed, which means that you won't get as much meat off of the carcass as you will with other beef breeds including Angus, Charolais, Simmental or Shorthorn. So when I say it is a dairy breed, I mean that it does not put on muscle and fat as efficiently as the beef breeds listed.Thus, if you had to slaughter a beef steer and not a dairy steer, you would definitely have a higher percentage hanging weight than the one I calculated for you. So, to compensate for the type of animal you had slaughtered AND the breed it was, you have to calculate for a lower percentage of hanging weight of that steer.Now if I calculated the hanging weight to a higher percentage, say 75% or 55%, the liveweight would be the following:Hanging weight (506 lbs) is 75% of liveweight = 674 lbs liveweightHanging weight (506 lbs) is 55% of liveweight = 920 lbs liveweightNeither of the above make any sense because, for one, they do not account for the type of animal in question, nor do they count for the viscera, blood, head, tail, and legs which come from the animal. Hanging weight being 75% of the liveweight is ridiculously high, and 55% of the liveweight is also ludicrous because both percentages don't take into account the fact that a brown Swiss steer is a dairy steer (poorer ability to put on weight in muscle and fat than beef steers), and the amount of "waste" that has to be removed before it is hanged for a few weeks.
How much can you sell a steer for?
How much you get for them depend on how much they weigh. You can sell them off hoof for a lower price or you can sell them on the rail, which you get money depending on how much the carcass weighs.
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.
