[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1723460, member: 38590"] Yes. There are beef cows kept entirely in confinement, though that's still an extremely small portion of the industry. More beef semen is being used on Holstein cows than Holstein semen. On many of the larger and more progressive dairies, more than half of the calves are beef cross. I've talked to people in the industry who think they will reach a point where these animals will surpass the value of "real" beef cattle. Stud companies are still working on figuring out which genetics work best, but the dairy industry will have a significant advantage in uniformity, consistent supply, and production efficiency over the traditional beef industry.
