Would probably be steers for ease of not having any bred heifers come fall. Ideally would buy in feb or march to escape the spring grass type high prices turn out in mid may and run on pasture till late August or late September. Stock at 2 acres per critter "here" and hope to put 200 or so pounds on total.
