[QUOTE="BigBear56, post: 1636743, member: 38461"] I would agree that the Jerseys flavor and tenderness is the best we’ve experienced. We started out with Jersey bull calves from my aunt and uncles dairy farm. We loved the meat but our customers complained about the size of the steaks and fat pockets in the steaks. This could be due to me pushing them harder on grain than they could take. I would imagine a man could slow grow a Jersey out to about 24-30 months and get some absolutely incredible meat. We wound up switching to angus and angus cross due to customer demand. With the dairy market in the tank my aunt and uncle have started breeding their lower performing Jerseys to angus bulls. My aunt is always amazed at how much vigor the calves have. She said they get up immediately after calving and are aggressive eaters (compared to her lifetime of calving pure bred jerseys). They have a local feeder buying them for $200 at 3 days old. He told them in all his years those angus jersey crosses finished with the best meat he’s raised and gained at the same rate as the beef crosses he brings in. I think at some point in the next year I’m gonna bring one home and try it out. [/QUOTE]
