Post-weaning management of modern dairy cattle genetics for beef production: a review

Jerad R. Jaborek et al.

Summary: Over the past decade, the feeding and management of dairy steers for beef production in the U.S. has gained more attention. Dairy steers are less efficient at producing beef compared to steers from beef breeds. To improve beef production from the dairy herd, growth-promoting technologies and beef x dairy crossbreeding are being implemented in dairy operations. The contribution of dairy steers to the U.S. fed beef supply has increased significantly over the last two decades due to declining beef cow numbers and the increased use of sexed dairy semen. However, dairy steers have lower dressing percentages and yield less red meat compared to beef steers due to various factors.

Beef embryos in dairy cows: feedlot performance, mechanistic responses, and carcass characteristics of straightbred Holstein calves and Angus-sired calves from Holstein, Jersey, or crossbred beef dams

Luke K. Fuerniss et al.

Summary: Improved reproductive management has optimized dairy cow pregnancies for beef production. A study was conducted to compare the feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of straightbred beef calves raised in a calf ranch with beef x dairy crossbreds and straightbred beef cattle raised in a traditional beef cow/calf system. Despite differences in dam breed, straightbred beef cattle had similar performance, while Jersey maternal genetics resulted in more efficient feedlot and carcass performance than A x J crossbreds.

Performance and visceral tissue growth and development of Holstein calves fed differing milk replacer allowances and starch concentrations in pelleted starter

T. T. Yohe et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of milk replacer allowance and starch concentration in starter on visceral tissue and overall growth of calves. The results showed that increasing milk replacer allowance had a significant impact on intake and body weight gain of the calves, while the effects of starch intake on overall growth and tissue measurements were minimal.

Assessment of Equations to Predict Body Weight and Chemical Composition in Growing/Finishing Cattle and Effects of Publication Year, Sex, and Breed Type on the Deviation from Observed Values

P. A. Lancaster

Summary: This study evaluated existing equations for predicting body weight and chemical composition of cattle and found limitations in the current equations. The study suggests that a more comprehensive set of equations, considering factors such as sex, breed type, and recent cattle genetics and management systems, may need to be developed.

Crossbreeding beef sires to dairy cows: cow, feedlot, and carcass performance

Blake A. Foraker et al.

Summary: Genetic and reproductive advancements, volatile milk markets, and beef packer restrictions have led to increased popularity of crossbreeding beef sires with dairy cows in the United States. This study aimed to understand the performance of dairy cows bred to beef sires and the feedlot and carcass performance of crossbred beef x dairy cattle. The results showed that the lactation performance of cows was minimally impacted by the sire type of previous conception. Crossbred beef x dairy cattle exhibited similar weight gain at the feedlot but lower dressing percentage than beef cattle. The beef x dairy carcasses had lower fat thickness and larger ribeye area than beef cattle. Additionally, beef cattle produced a higher percentage of yield grade 4 carcasses compared to beef x dairy and Holstein cattle.

Effects of Holstein and beef-dairy cross breed description on the sale price of feeder and weaned calf lots sold through video auctions

E. D. McCabe et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the value of Holstein feeder steer lots, beef-dairy cross weaned steer calves, and weaned steer and heifer calves compared with other breed descriptions. The results showed that beef-dairy crosses have a greater value prospect than Holstein steers in the beef supply chain.

Use of Beef Semen on Dairy Farms: A Cross-Sectional Study on Attitudes of Farmer Toward Breeding Strategies

Jessica Marcela Vieira Pereira et al.

Summary: The use of beef semen on dairy cows has been steadily increasing in California since 2017. A survey conducted in January 2020 revealed that the main advantages reported by dairy farmers for using beef semen are extra profit and control of heifer inventory. The region of California and the breed of the herd also influence the variation in day-old dairy beef crossbred calf price.

Feedlot performance, carcass characteristics and economic profits in four Holstein-beef crosses compared with pure-bred Holstein cattle

A. Rezagholivand et al.

Summary: The study compared feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and economic profits between four Holstein-beef crosses and pure-bred Holstein calves. Results showed that crossbred calves had higher average daily gain and more favorable feed conversion ratios, leading to higher economic profits compared to pure Holstein calves.

Breed and heterotic effects for mature weight in beef cattle

Madeline J. Zimmermann et al.

Summary: The study aims to estimate breed and heterotic effects for mature weight (MWT) in crossbred cows. By analyzing weight-age data of 5,156 crossbred cows, significant direct heterosis effects on MWT and maternal heterosis effects on the growth rate k were observed. The findings suggest that incorporating MWT in cattle breed selection can impact overall profitability, with the Angus breed being heaviest at maturity.
