Okay, in June I started a thread asking if anyone measures how much their cow eats so they know how efficient she is producing so many pounds of calf. Not much response.

Anyway, ran across this video showing research they are undergoing where they measure cow's feed intake. He says it hasn't been done before. He must have read my thread.
In one example showed significant differences between two cows in pounds of feed per pounds of calf weaned.
Which can lead to better selection and more profit.
