[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 670202, member: 5106"] Don't forget the slaughter houses that were fined due to sloppy work, they let those long Holstein carcass's touch the floor and were shut down and fined so in return they discounted Holsteins or did not take them at all. I think this really has more to do with the bias and price deduction than being a dairy breed . As far as fat the free martin heifer I finished 2 years ago was anything but lean I guess she was a very easy keeper and there was a lot of fat on her probably more than a herf. being finished. I think when people see Holstein they think just a dairy breed, but it is far from that, dairy has some of the most complex breeding around; they are the masters of AI and utilizing multiple sires per herd and are on the cutting edge of breeding technology ...Something to think about and how you can get a really good milking cow (100+pounds a day) yet a steer out of her that utilizes feed and gains weight. Enough , good luck with your steers and happy eating you will not be disappointed... :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
