[QUOTE="GANGGREEN, post: 414145, member: 6460"] I recognize that I'd never get rich raising Holstein beef. Likewise, I recognize that they probably don't yield as well as many beef breeds. What I'm interested in is raising some steers, primarily for myself and a few friends and family and wonder if Holsteins make any sense. I suspect that they'd be readily available in my area and suspect that they might be a good bit cheaper to buy as feeders than the other breeds. I'd really appreciate peoples' opinions of Holstein steers as a beef breed if profit, yield, etc. aren't factored in and if my primary concern is availability and beef quality. I suspect that most will advise me to just go get some Angus or Hereford but I'm curious what you all think. I'm also curious what I might expect to pay for weanling Holsteins as compared to weanling Angus or Hereford. [/QUOTE]
