Beef Making and the Finish of Cattle in Kentucky Studys
Prof D W May of the Kentucky station notes variable results in beef making and the influence of individual animal lines. Cattle are moved from grass at about 18 months to heavy feeding to fatten the organs and body, with a trend toward fatter cattle from younger ages.
