[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 618559, member: 4437"] [i]Excellent point! Below, I copied and pasted my other comment....which would need to incorporate current market prices to maximize profit....[/i] I think the solution is this.... All ranchers need to incorporate in herd controlled feed efficiency tests. These results need to be incorporated into a formula whch also measures weaned calving percentage of the cow, and all other important and related variables, including weight of the cow. Then you would have something and this would be realistic and worth allot of money to us. [i]Added: To maximize profit in an always moving market, inside the above projected efficiency formula, there should be a numerical representation of the current market, so that any one month, or any one year, one specific cow may be more cullible or more valuable than another based upon statistical evidence of her efficiency.[/i] [i]In regards to Knersie's comment about not operating on the entire cow herd in order to determine feed efficiency, and only to select a bull that has been tested for feed efficiency....makes sense...but I need to think about it for awhile to rule out any poossibility of performing in herd cow feed efficiency tests...still thinking....of a practical way to do this...[/i] [/QUOTE]
