[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1820992, member: 42463"] Exactly correct... I don't believe this has changed significantly since the seventies. The end product is meat, so they want meaty calves. They want them to grow until they hit the feed lot so they don't want them overly fat until they are close to their full size and on feed. Then they want them to marble and finish quickly. That's the tough thing... the balance between growth to the appropriate size and laying on fat at the right time. Then you must have a good eye... [/QUOTE]
