If you are looking to show a steer as a finished or close to finished calf in January or February how old should they be at that time. Our county show falls in this time frame so I was wandering when they should be born to be shown January or February of 2011.

Thanks for all of the comments. Luckily the worst of the weather passed by yesterday and she had the calf this morning. It was still cold to get out in for my liking but not too much danger for the calf. Again thank you for your help.
