The female culls are put in the feedlots right along with the steers. Beef growers keep a set number of brood cows, any females in excess are sold. How many are in the herd often depends on acreage, and weather conditions, which determine feed availability and/or price. Feedlots are the “finishing” phase of raising beeves, where they are fed more grains and get less exercise to get the right marbling into the meat.
I don’t think I have ever met ANYONE who raised a steer for the manure, not to be butchered.
