[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 758300, member: 6897"] Aaron there have been many discussions on this. But..I'll give you one very small example. Last week I sold a holstein steer 715 lbs. and it brought $.58 per pound. The same day I sold a black steer 710 lbs. and it sold for $1.11. Now, the guy that bought that holstein has about $300 less invested in the animal. I do believe a good feed lot operator will make more money on the holstein than on the black steer and that's the name of the game. AND the meat will be just as good. All just a matter of knowing how to finish the holstein...some know how and some have never even tried it and probably never will because of their preconceived notions and just too set in their ways to even give them a chance.
