[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 135572, member: 1017"] Yep. Avg Daily weight gain might actually be a better way to explain it. For instance: If calf "A" has an actual BW of 80 lbs on March 1, 2005 and we wean it on October 1, 2005 and it weighs 600 lbs. That calf is 214 days old and has gained 520 lbs so his WDA= 520lbs divided by 214 days = 2.43lbs average of gain for each day of his life. This method makes it easier to identify the "good growers" without discounting calves with low BW or giving and advantage to calves with high BW. [/QUOTE]
