[QUOTE="WFfarm, post: 1709339, member: 39155"] Our area is a pretty large dairy region. With the advent of sexed semen, the dairies can be flexible with what they bread the "rest of the herd" to, so they cross a lot with Angus. They are going to sell the bull calves off anyway and they will get a lot more for a sold black calf. They used to get $100-120 for a Holstein bull calf, now they get $5-20. I heard of a local dairy that sent 3 Holstein few day old bull calves to the auction and ended up with a bill after trucking and commission. [/QUOTE]
