[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1410470, member: 25884"] The big thing with dairy steers, they have to grow the bone/frame in order to put on weight/meat. If you had a feed lot you might get them finished out in 18-20 months but would have to really feed them like a feed lot does. Most dairy beef will marble and finish in the 20-26 month range. An immature animal will not marble throughout the meat. And even if you would want to keep them that long, and it doesn't seem like that is your plan, they are going to eat twice what your beef animals will. [/QUOTE]
