Sell Beef Cattle
According To Grade
The grade of finish at which
to sell beef cattle depends on
the quality and sex of the ani
mals, says Homer Sewell, Uni
versity of Missouri extension
luestock specialist
For instance, higher quality
feeders should have a highei
finish because they have the
beef confoimation required for
higher slaughtei grades
Sex is a factor because heif
eis finish at lighter weights
than steei s
Sewell reminds that aftei cat
tle reach middle choice giade,
it takes moie feed to add a
pound of gain Thus, gains be
yond that giade aie usually
more expensive to the feeder
The piemium paid foi highei
slaughter giades geneially does
not offset increased feed costs
Based on these factois, a
‘ i ule of thumb” is to sell cattle
at high good to middle choice
gi ades
Stecis should leach this giade
at 950 to 1100 pounds The com
paiable weight foi heifeis is 800
to 950 pounds
Low quality feedei s should
be sold at lower giades
