Assuming the animal is never sick and well cared for, how many days on average might it take to get an implanted Holstein steer from birth to between 800lbs.- 850lbs. to sell as a feeder? Assume the steer is basically confined and fed all they can eat baled hay/haylege with plenty of grain? Maybe an average of 8+ pounds of grain per day.
