[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 771842, member: 12607"] There are tons(millions?) of Holstein steers fed out and slaughtered every year; no telling how much of the retail beef folks buy is actually Holstein. They 'eat' better than they grade - folks who know how to feed them can do OK. The Holdstein genepool is small enough that the amount of variation between animals is minimal compared to what you'd get with a put-together group of beef calves. Saw somewhere, years ago, that their muscle fibers are smaller-diameter than most beef breeds, hence the fact that the meat is better than its quality grade would suggest. [/QUOTE]
