Last I heard they’re about $3.50/lb on the hoof for feedlot steers.

And they get slaughtered at 800-1000lbs.

He's not making anywhere near $450K.

This is probably some kid raising steer on his daddy's land and playing rancher and posting for clout. Hormone and antibiotic-free is hard to do and very expensive. Add in cost of feed, processing, etc. and there's not much profit margin at 100 head/year.
