You can get a Holstein to grade if you feed him long enough.

Marty, you can fatten that Holstein til the cows come home, if you will excuse the expression, but all you're going to get is stew meat and fatty ground beef.  Ain't gonna marble, son, unless you somehow get Monsanto involved.

Not true.  Although I was on the National Championship FFA Livestock Judging Team, placed #2 in Nation overall (including a 1st place in beef and 1st place in reasons), I will defer to the expertise of CI.  Unlike me, he makes his living in the beef industry.

This is actually pretty funny.  I have never been within 20 feet of a cow, steer, buffalo or any other bovine.  I do cook and eat, and greatly enjoy both.  So me telling you why you never had a guernsey in your beef herd is hysterical. :)
