I like Jersey for beef, MO is that it is well marbled, and just as tender as any beef I have ever et, But....Alacowman is right...a million dollars worth of groceries it seems to get them looking like anything, trust me on this... you aren't going to make a jersey steer look anywhere near as good as a holstien or a beef breed on grass.
One thing good about them though is this, if and when I lose one I don't cry as hard as I do with my other commercial breeds, you haven't lost a huge investment as you would others, even holstein calves. lost a 11 week old jersey calf just yesterday, and was almost excited about the fact that I simply have more coyote bait. :cboy:
