[QUOTE="BC, post: 917483, member: 67"] Years ago, a friend sent some steers to the TAMU Ranch to Rail program. One was a rat tail. He wanted to find out why his occassional rat tailed calf got docked at sale barn. He found out. It gained 0.25 lbs less ADG than his contemporaries. I don't know if it has to do with genetics or the fact that most rat tils are extremely short haired and that lack of hair caused increased maintenance through the winter feeding period. [/QUOTE]
