[QUOTE="E in PA, post: 827193, member: 15339"] Just a quick note, the calf is no longer available. Thanks for all the responses, and for not getting nasty with each other or to anti dairy steers. When my family still had a dairy farm we raised holstein steers for beef. They were raised pretty much like ChrisB said. Our grain was whole ear corn ground and mixed with supplement. 1200 lbs corn with 400 lbs supplement. No forage except the little they consumed when they were with our weaned calves. At 4-6 months of age they got put in a seperate pen and fed free choice the previously mentioned grain. At 13 months they would be slaughtered and dress out at around 600 lbs. The beef was just as good as genuine angus. :lol2: And I am not knocking angus. I raise those. Anyways, my thought process was to raise it and see if was reproductive. And if not eat it. I was just looking for some advice or suggestions from some of you that had experience with them. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
