[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 24306"] Hi Ellie It's just one of those things that a lot of people just don't think about, unless they're right there in the middle of the area where it's done! I can drive 200 miles and be in an area where raising dairy beef is considered a joke - and a milk cow is a real novelty. But here where we have so many diaries (2 within 4 miles of me, 10 within 15 miles), raising those steers is a very viable business. At the salebarn here a newborn Holstein bull calf will bring a lot more than a newborn beef calf! I can buy newborn beef calves for $50-$150, while those Holstein bulls start at $200. Personally though, I'm not equipped to raise the numbers that are necessary to turn a reasonable profit on them, so I leave the Holsteins alone. Ann B [/QUOTE]
