well I am doing a dairy beef feeder project this year and next year a steer with it. But I am trying to find the best breed for my dairy beef feeder, I can get any breed from most the farmers I work/worked for or at the sale barn. I have cattle here at my farm but they are mostly angus and holstein and I cant do angus because there a beef breed and I am trying to find something else besides holstein because almost every person takes holstein but I might just have to take one. Well at first I was thinking a Jersey because I can get 1 dehorned and weaned for $85 from a friend but I am afraid it will be on the way small side because we start this project in janruary and the calf has to be born after janruary first so I dont think it will be as big as alot of the others. And then my other choice was Guernsey I really like this breed of cattle but I dont know how fast they grow or anything because I have never owned any.
Thanks
