"These BeefBuilder™ cattle are outperforming plant averages for USDA Quality and USDA Yield Grade.
Most of the Angus/Holstein cattle that are out there today will not lose their dairy identity in the eyes of the packer."

Why Make BeefBuilders™ instead of Feeding Holstein or Dairy-Type Steers?
For many years, Riverview Dairy struggled with the marketability of the dairy bull calf, both in Holsteins and Jerseys. The feed efficiency of dairy steer calves always lags severely behind their native counterparts, and the quality and cut-ability in the eyes of the meat packer presented problems. They couldn't shake their dairy identity and those dairy carcass discounts...
...until creating the BeefBuilder™ calf!
BeefBuilders™ have a 10-year track record with several U.S. packers of having an advantage in carcass weight, ribeye area, dressing percentage, and USDA Quality Grade. Currently, as well as historically, our BeefBuilder™ cattle are out-performing the beef industry average for USDA Quality Grade and for USDA Yield Grade 1 and 2.
From conception to harvest, we focus on our data to drive these strategic genetic decisions.
