[QUOTE="traderaaron, post: 757500, member: 13840"] Holsteins can marble well along with other dairy breeds, they will require a higher energy ration when finishing though compared to say an angus, not as feed efficient. You can run them on grass or native forage quite effectively and then put them on that high energy finishing ration around 7-800lbs for harvesting around 1200lbs. However, if the animal seems large framed and bony then it probably won't do well on grazing and will need to be started on a higher energy ration sooner than a smaller framed Holstein. If you want the animal to grade choice then you really need to get it up to that 1150-1250lb. range, generally speaking. And they don't do that well in the heat so take that into consideration, especially if grazing them. [/QUOTE]
