That's a pretty large steer. Assuming that the carcass weight is 40% of the steer's live weight, you'd get a carcass weight of 680 lbs; with that, minus the weight from bones, you could get about 620 lbs of meat off of him. But it's hard to say without knowing the carcass weight.

What is the price relationship between a bred heifer and a steer calf?
A steer calf will sell higher when it is a lighter weight than if it where a heavier weight. For example, a 500 lb steer will sell at $125/cwt and a 900 lb steer will sell at $96/cwt. In total, a 500 lb steer and a 900 lb steer will go for $625 and $864, respectively. (cwt = per hundred weight, or per 100 lbs) Bred heifers generally are more expensive than steer calves, as they can go from $700 to $1000 per head. I think the price relationship for steer calves and bred heifers are that when more calves are being sold at a higher price, its gets more expensive to buy bred heifers, but more bred heifers can be sold. When steer prices go down, then that means the prices for bred cows go down and that gives the opportunity for bred heifers to be bought at a low price, but not sold.

Since "kind of cows" could mean anything from "kind of breed" to gender, I'll give you what I think are used in steer wrestling: Since the word "steer wrestling" seems self explanitory, I would assume that steers are used in steer wrestling.
