[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1436133, member: 122"] If you want to feed a dairy steer for beef I think you will be money ahead getting a Holstein and feeding them free choice shelled corn and a protein pellet from weaning. I did end up with a few jerseys once and tried to feed them with the pen of steins. They really never looked nice and finished but I just got tired of having them around and shipped them. I can't remember but I think they were around 26 months old and I was shocked when I found they weighed 1500 lbs. which I was happy with. Problem was they seemed to eat just as much as the Holsteins which would finish the same weight in 16 months. [/QUOTE]
