[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 873334, member: 14878"] Sir loin, The amount of black and white is definitely close breeding in the genepool. Holstein steers here are a mainstream beef enterprise. I can go to any sale barn on a given night and watch hundreds go through like cookie cutters. The industry is very organized. it goes in basically 3 phases. Wet calf to 300 pounds, then 300 to about 900 pounds, and then 900 to finish that bounces around from 1200 to 1600 depending on what the packers are looking for. The no botched horns are from the skilled wet calf raisers and when done with an iron when they bud, a total rookie can do it. Remember you are dealing with a people friendly animal to a certain extent until you put that iron on it's head. The only thing you probably saw that I would not here is nice clean coats. Here Holsteins are kept in total filth and borderline abuse. [/QUOTE]
