[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1540188, member: 16303"] We are about ready to release a new program. But in doing some research we found some really interesting facts: Dairy beef contributes almost 27% to the US beef supply, from cull cows and finished steers and heifers. Dairy cattle produce a prime carcass 2 - 3 times the rate of beef breeds and is estimated that 30-40% of USDA Prime beef is from dairy. Finished dairy steers and heifers produce a carcass that is about 5% less than a beef carcass. Most of this is due to the dairy animals have more guts and little more bone. Once the hide comes off, you can't tell what breed of animal the meat was from. So with this in mind it seems that the packers are making out like bandits when it comes to dairy beef. With the depressed dairy prices for milk right now, it seems to also affect the price paid for bottle calves. Those calves should be bringing more than what they are! [/QUOTE]
