[QUOTE="Shorthornguy, post: 414377, member: 4870"] Grassfed Holstein is good beef. It takes longer to finish than most beef breeds. We are currently paying $125.00 for 5 day old bull calves. It takes $85.00 in milk replacer and $35.00 in starter feed to take the calf to 13 weeks. Death losses run 5 to 7%. They get grain and hay untill 350lbs. Then they are on grass. Under 20 months they are good lean beef. At 28 months they are marbled. It seems like the older they are the more they marble. In contrast we finish our Shorthorns at 14 to 18 months. Good luck.
