Cattle producers finishing and marketing dairy beef steers face some challenges verses conventional feeding operations. That’s the focus of a webinar offered by the I-29 Moo University on March 23. Iowa State University Beef Specialist Beth Doran says dairy beef steers require more management.
She says the approach to nutrition and animal health are also different for dairy beef steers.
And Doran says since the performance is not the same that also means the return on investment is a bit lower than with conventional beef cattle.
Industry professionals and beef producers who are finishing and marketing dairy beef are invited to virtually attend the I-29 Dairy Beef Short Course. The webinar, offered by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and SDSU, is set for March 23.
