[QUOTE="J&D Cattle, post: 1338153, member: 18854"] I sell my higher dollar beef calves at the sale barn and feed out Jersey's for my family. We've been butchering them for 8 years or so and sell around 10 or so a year as well. To me they are more tender than the other breeds and have a better flavor. Our customers say the same. We didn't buy any back this year as our regular dairy contact sold out. Only two remaining. There is no debate though they they are less efficient. We never full feed ours and they aren't in a dry lot. At the most they get 15lbs/day of feed and that is only the last 30 or so days. We stair step up from around 4-6lbs as they grow. We either have them on pasture or hay depending on the season. [/QUOTE]
