[QUOTE="Larry Sansom, post: 138660, member: 332"] Any cattle will perform on grain - not all will perform on grass. They will perform for you - as they did back in the 60's and 70's when Wye was the operation everyone went to for growth and performance as they had the 1800 - 2100 lb bulls. Fabron was a 2065 lb mature bull. They were fed grain and linear measurements were taken and compared to the carcass info back before this type of thing was ever thought of. The cattle will typically mature earlier than some of the today's cattle and will finish on less high energy feed. we have just discovered that these heavy muscled cattle are great forage type cattle. Ed Draper with Wye has seen the Genestar data on my bull and he commented that they get several 2 and 3 star bulls - but 4 stars are harder to get on Tenderness. I get calls from across the nation wanting Wye influence blood in bulls and heifers- it must be working or we wouldn't be getting the demand for this type of cattle - there are very few that use them forage only - most are like you and feed grain.
