[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1646887, member: 498"] I have eaten lots of Holsteins over the years. It can certainly be good beef. Probably not great beef but good. Advantage is less expensive start up cost to buy a Holstien steer. Disadvantage is it takes more grain to raise a good Holstein. You can't run them on pasture alone to 800 pounds and then go to a feed program to finsih like you can with a beef calf. You pretty much have to feed them all the way up. Certainly at a lower level of feed while growing them out but there is still feed needed. [/QUOTE]
