A yearling is an animal that is between one year and two years of age. We have a sector of the cattle industry that backgrounds yearlings. They take those yearlings to grass and they grow them on grass, and then they go into a feedlot, at about 900 to 1,000 pounds. That's what a yearling is. It's an important segment of the industry.
