All of our steers are born and raised on our ranch. They are weened off of their mother's at approximately 6 months old. They stay on good coastal pasture until at approximately 14 months old, we then take them to our feed lot to start the feeding out process. They are given a special blend of feed along with coastal and alfalfa hay until they are ready for slaughter.
