[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1763766, member: 16547"] These beef on dairy index's are horse crap. Holstein's already marble, heck pure Holstein's go prime more than beef as a percentage. The long and short of these index's are big feedlots are claiming to be more sustainable feeding these crossbred calves thus getting carbon credits. Index's are not even the right kind of cattle to use on holsteins. I just sent 2 heifers sired by homeraised Angus bulls to plant 2 weeks ago. Just short of 18 months. Both sires of heifers were in both 70% for both indexs. 1 went prime other went CAB. Both returned live weight after trucking and commission $1.539 in my pocket. @ 1262.5# each that was just short of $1943/head. That was higher than our local sale barn on colored cattle by 6-7 cents and would have commission and trucking yet! I'll use my bad index bulls on my dairy cattle. [/QUOTE]
