[QUOTE="Calhoun Farm, post: 1104880, member: 19637"] I went to the sale 2wks ago and 600lb beef steers where bringing around 1.70, couple holsteins that size come through and brought around .95 BIG difference. The risk I see with holsteins is if you buy them young from the stock barn you take a big risk of them being sick already. Or, if you buy off craigslist you will pay a premium and then won't make as much of a return when you sell. I've seen 100lb holstein bull calves sell for $10 at the barn. That's not even worth the gas hauling them off IMO. [/QUOTE]
