Up until after world war two the majority of fat steers slaughtered were 3-4 years old, people did not like the mild taste of the 18 month old beeves. I feed out cull cows on contract to a packer in Texas and they don"t turn it into hamburger unless it won"t grade, I make my money on the grid, according to the carcass grade and color of the fat. Probably 40% of the steaks and roasts sold in the grocery store are cow beef, anything marked USDA SELECT is more than likely cow beef. At current prices I would sell the steer and grain feed the cow a couple months and put her in the freezer.
