Blackshirt feeders in Nebraska – Beef – dairy feedlot – do not overlook the value of DUAL PURPOSE true Fleckvieh
A large scale integrated feedlot system is described below. Many of the advantages like hybrid vigor, heterosis, faster growth rates and better health attract the use of beef semen on dairy cattle.
This benefit can be doubled when using Fleckvieh – why? Not only will you get Cull cows and calves that have beef value – you ALSO get a high producing dairy cow…the dairy cow with more bang for you buck. On a 100 cow herd, up to $500 more value per bull/steer calf and up to $1500 more for a cull cow – this may put ( seelling 50 calves and 10 cows) an EXTRA $40,000.00 in your pocket.
And this all by breeding true Fleckvieh. Look nowhere else!
