[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1126970, member: 21626"] I started raising holstein dairy steers a few years ago because I wanted a fair project and figured if our heifers couldn't win, maybe our steers could... I've learned quite a bit since that first year (which was a train wreck) and now I make good money from it (I even made money on $7 corn so the person who said $4.50 corn is too much, I strongly disagree). I guess all I will add at this point to help answer the question is that you're usually looking at a 6-8 lb feed conversion rate... Depending mostly on implant program and pellets. Fed holstein steers are bringing just as much as the beef heifers, and close to the beef steers around our area. Seen them scratching at the $1.45-$1.50 mark for 1400lbers. And $250 would be a great price for 200lb calves, we just sold a calf a couple weeks ago for $400 at 1.5mo of age. [/QUOTE]
