Beef should be butchered at about 1200 lbs. I have always said dairy steers should be butchered heavier than that due to heavier frame, and less flesh on the frame. Your heavy side at 1375 would probly be about right. I don't know if you would want to try to raise beef and dairy beef together in sinc. It would be merely a guessing game as to what size of each when putting them together. I don't think the holstiens being heavier would be a problem, but how much heavier when put with the others so they are done at the same time would be kind of hard to guess. Having just 3 cows around creates other problems. They will have to be kept separate all the time because you won't want to feed them the same as the feeder calves. Then there is the breeding problem. They will need bred once a year, and you will need a bull for that. Its really hard to rent a bull this day and age, and owning one for just 3 cows is pretty much not justifiable. And even if you do own your own bull, its also going to have to be kept separate a minimum of 3 months out of the year. If you don't, your cows will get bred back before they are suppose to be. So, you might want to re-think this. Might not be worth the extra headaches.
