[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 670153, member: 968"] I am not saying that they won't be good eating. Just get more "bang for the buck" with beef calves. They will put on more red meat - MUSCLE. It's simple - beef cattle are raised to produce BEEF - dairy cattle are raised to produce MILK. Dairy cattle are not heavily muscled as beef cattle. When you have dairy cattle available at home, then you might as well finish out a dairy steer with your home grown feed. But, if you are going out & buying one, you might as well finish out a beef calve. Yes, the dairy calf will cost less. That's because it is WORTH LESS because it will not gain as much MUSCLE with a pound of feed as a beef calf will. [/QUOTE]
