[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 133292, member: 873"] Some of those 300-400 "light-green" calves are bringing pretty good money - it is just hard to say whether your calves will be docked for the dairy influence. I would bet they bring higher than the marked holstein steers but not top beef dollar - so probably in the 1.25 range - I can't see their faces and bodies REALLY well enough to know for sure. I can't imagine after graining and feeding hay all winter you'd make money by keeping them, prices may drop and you often don't get as much for the bigger ones - beside as they grow they may show a little more of the dairy in their frame.
