Center of IL | I fed Holsteins for many years. Most of mine went to Green Bay, although I used to send them to IBP if they weren't huge. Till someone sent a load of heavyweights up there and pulled the rail down from the roof. Quite the mess, I heard. Also, if they were too big, they had to carry them somehow through the plant so they didn't drag on the floor. The meat is as good as purebred beef in my opinion. Not nearly as fat. AT least on a huge one. One good thing about them is you could keep feeding them to 1600 lbs + if corn was cheap and the cattle price was lousy. Beef, you pretty much have to sell when they are finished or get discounted. Last time I looked at Walmart, most of their meat was coming from Geen Bay. | |
