Anybody on here feeding angus steers crossed with holsteins? Looking at breeding some cows like this and the steer buyer is saying he will pay $0.15/lb premium for these over just straight holstein steers. On the other hand, the feed salesman is telling me they don't grow as fast and he would feed a holstein anyday over a cross. Just looking for somebody who has actually done it to give a little feedback. TIA.
Had some Holstein and angus/Holstein cross in the same pen last year, just sold them this spring. They all were bought and came in the same day, Holsteins were 475-500lbs. Crosses were 400-425lbs. Fed and treated equally all year. Crosses went out at 1625, Holstein barely over 1500.
Good luck. |
