[QUOTE="Walking W, post: 1636671, member: 24986"] I should admit that the jersey cross wouldn't make any sense for a commercial operation. I raised the steer from a couple of months old and processed at 18 months. The average daily gain was OK at about 2.25 lb/day average but the 1350 lb animal with an 800 lb hanging weight only yielded 450 lbs of packaged meat. That makes it about $3.5 per lb average all in cost for purchase, fertilizer, feed, and processing. [/QUOTE]
