The rapid growth of beef x dairy (BxD) crossbreeding is reshaping feeder cattle supplies across the country. As dairy producers increasingly breed dairy cows to beef sires to capture added value on non-replacement calves, more BxD crossbred steers are entering Oklahoma feedlots.
That trend raises an important question: How do these dairy crossbreds compare economically with beef steers in our traditional yearling systems?
