[QUOTE="ohiosteve, post: 879573, member: 17303"] I forgot to mention the yield from a 2 yr old Jersey steer will be considerably less than that of a 2 yr old beef steer.My memory of numbers is horrible but it seems like my biggest jersey steer was about 1050 at 2 yrs old and I'm positive I got less than 400 lbs. of beef out of him in comparison to the last angus steer I brought in which was right at 2 yrs old as well who wieghed 1300 lbs and I'm positive I got over 500 lbs of freezer beef from him. Both were on 100% grass (very high quality pastures not scrub grass). Here's some pictures. I do miss the personalities of the jerseys.
