How long should a steer live before slaughter?

That really depends on how that steer is being finished, what breed it is and how much meat (determined by size of the carcass) you want. There are different breeds that tend to reach carcass maturity a lot later than others, and how that particular steer is finished also affects the rate of finish that steer undergoes. For most steers in the feedlot, they are kept until they are around 18 to 22 months of age upon which time they are slaughtered. On grass, they wouldn't be slaughtered until they reach around 24 to 30 months of age. Steers that are very late maturing (like Jerseys, Holsteins, and Highlands), may not be slaughtered until they're at least 30 months old.


How long can a Long Horn Steer live?

Longhorn steers can live up to 2 years when they are slaughtered for meat. However a few ranches keep steers longer than that if they are good for helping with the younger cows to find their way to the best grazing areas, water sources, etc. But 99% of longhorn steers are killed for their meat.

How old does a calf have to be before selling?

Pretty well any age, really. Bobby calves (those that are a few days old) can be sold for veal (but this is primarily limited to dairy, not beef cattle). Baby beef calves are those that are from 1 to 6 months of age. Beef steers/heifers/bulls can be slaughtered/sold between 6 and 18 months of age, if your purpose is for beef production.
