[QUOTE="fargus, post: 716871, member: 13480"] That's why there is an advantage. How many times does the top-selling pen of steers from the calf sale net the most dollars for the feedlot at the end of the line? LOL, the most profitable calves tend to be the ones that are discounted for colour or breed purposes and sharp buyers with a good eye cherry pick them. Holsteins are likely the same. They make money because the up-front costs are lower, and if you have figured out how to get them to grade and sell them on the rail.... I can see how it would work. Neighbours of ours used to feed lots of 'em, but we have that veal industry in our backyard too. [/QUOTE]
