[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 64204, member: 13"] It generally means the bull's growth (performance/development) was measured. Across the country there are bull test stations, many run by universities, where breeders bring their young bulls to be fed (developed) together. They are weighed and measured while on test and the "top" bull will be identified in some fashion. Auburn has a test and a sale. I think the sale was advertised here on CattleToday :?: Probably the most expensive time in a feeder calf's life is the time it spends in the feedlot. By buying high performaing bulls, producers are working to increase the feedlot efficiency of their cattle. Or some larger breeders will feed (develop) their bulls on their place and measure themselves. But various test stations and breeders use different management and feed programs to test these bulls. So you can't compare the performance of a bull on grass with a bull on a hot feed ration. In fact, these tests are only valid to compare one bull with another on the same test. Hope this helped....
