Depends on what weight you start at, breeding, feed and how hard you push them. In general, not being a feedlot guy I expect 16-18months of age to reach atleast 1200 for my own. Barley and grass baleage here
It can be done faster, and steers will be ahead of their sisters.. But if you're just starting out at it, I'd say thats a good estimate.
