Does anyone here have any idea what a light 4- 5 weight jersey steer should bring?

Around $3 a lb assuming pure Jersey in reasonable condition

Some of the best beef you can eat. Jersey is fantastic

Lol for good reason

There tender but the steaks are smaller.

For their small size they can put off some milk. I had 4 of them growing up u could put 3 calves each on daily til they got on feed then give em a new baby lol. Bought my 1st 2 vehicles w beef

Some of the best beef dad raised came off dairy cows. He was partial to Charlais over Milking Shorthorn, we had a Brown Swiss that put really good frames on her calves and crossed well on Angus/Black Baldy/Hereferd. Jersey lacked frame size but finished well. Holstein/Guernsey had to much bone.

BTW, many composite breeds have a shot of Milking Shorthorn in the background for the bag quality. I know Santa Getrudis and Beefmaster do.

JMO, but if I were shopping for a home milker that could milk and feed off a calf for the freezer I would look for an old fashioned roan Shorthorn.

Neighbor has been selling angus/Holsteins.
