Feeder beef ("clean") right now is almost twice the price it was three years ago! The owner of the local livestock market sends me the weekly sale prices. I'm planning to buy some light (400 to 500 lb) feeder bulls to winter, but running nearly $4/lb live weigh right now. NOT a buyer's market at all. (Note: they become STEERS as soon as they hit my pen)
Access to mine is virtually impossible without being spotted/stopped by a neighbor. I actually held a fella at gunpoint at my neighbor to the South's corral until hearing from the neighbor himself that he hired him. Anybody driving around the area a bit too much WILL be stopped and questioned. Two backhoes in the neighborhood and plenty of acreage..
That's simply a younger beef that you plan to raise for slaughter. I buy only beef breeds (mostly Angus) and avoid any bony milker crosses. I make sure they have not been implanted with growth hormones and only use bulls/steers to keep the estrogen levels at a minimum. Grass-fed, very minimal clean grain.

Slap a brand on your beef, thieves are becoming an issue, especially if they’re in a small area.
