Yearling steers usually are fed from 4 to 7 months, depending on their grade and quality, and the amount of grain fed. Calves require a longer time to fatten and a shorter time. Wintering calves on roughage, then pasturing for part or all of the summer without grain results in cheap gains. Under present cattle and feed prices it is possible to pasture cattle for two summers, feeding roughage in winter. These animals may be grain fed for a short time or sold as grass-fa- t cattle.
