Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The last time you saw a Holstein Steer?

Got a neighbor that brings home 6-8 holstein bull calves every year, from the sale barn
Steers them and does well enough feeding them out that he's been repeating it for better'n 30 years

I thought that Wabi lived pretty close to Holstein.

our part of wisconsin, i cant hit a damn 9i without hitting a pen full of holstein steers. But there are big dairy barns all over

Pretty common to get them as bottle calves here.

Many years ago, a guy was touring the county fairs displaying the "Worlds Biggest Steer". I didn't pay his fee but I did see it when he was moving it between the trailer and the tent. It was a holstein steer, not the heaviest by any means, but it well could have been the tallest. It was very big to start with but the thing also had abnormal spinal dorsal processes that stuck WAY up in the air, way over my head and I'm 6', even back then. It could have been 7' high. It was a weird looking thing.

Used to pour a lot of concrete at Portuguese dairies. Biggest Holstein bull I've ever seen was in a super fortified steel pen. That bull towered over me and charged the welded pipe pen. I was told it had killed a man and I believe it. Took my gifted jug of homemade Dago Red and watched my back out of there.

At our local discount supermarket the butcher told me all the 'meat bonanaza' beef sales are holstein. So I guess I seen them frequently.

I don't buy beef but was at a local grocery store today with my wife and loose hamburg laying in the case was $7.69 a lb. Yikes. Guess that wasn't Holstein burger. Burger in a cheap looking plastic 10 lb tube was $4.20 a lb.

I don't ever remember seeing a Holstein steer.

Now those shiny black girls?

We bring in a lot of old assed dairy cows for consumption from overseas.


It's totally safe and good.

Wish I had the grass for 20-30 replacement heifers.



They are a bargain right now...

We raised some when I was a teenager. Bottle to table.Grass and hay with a little ground oats and barley. Took a two year old to the butcher and he was just over 1200 lbs and some of the best beef I have ever had. Tender and delicious. We ate a few every year and sold the rest. Edk

All I know is I love good beef and I eat a good steak 3x a week. i really dont give a [bleep] if I will die sooner like they say. Its now how long you lived but how well you lived.

There must be a bunch around because they’re paying the dairies here over 200 bucks apiece for day old Holstein bull calves.
