Abstract

This NebGuide discusses feeding and management practices to maximize feedlot performance, carcass quality, and profitability of Holstein steers. Holstein Steers vs Conventional Breeds Holstein steers usually are placed in the feedlot either as light-weight (250 to 350 pounds) calves or as feeders (600 to 800 pounds). The growth of Holstein feeder steers is generally more consistent than for conventional beef breeds.
