[QUOTE="Aubracusa, post: 302732, member: 3755"] Good morning, everyone. Glad to see such vigorous interest in the breed. Increased production is derived from several different sources: health, fertility, smaller mature size, which requires significantly less feed, without sacrificing weaning weights. On health, we posted information from a multi-breed test from the University of Minnesota in which Aubracs had the lowest sickness and deathloss. On increased production from existing resources, I believe Del has sufficiently explained his position -- and why he expects to increase his production by a third through the introduction of Aubrac genetics. Having visited his operation - and spent many days viewing his cow herd -- I believe he has no reason to fabricate some fictitious number for you to criticize. On carcass, an article was posted earlier showing the carcass traits of a group of Aubrac fed cattle slaughtered in Minnesota this fall. Our organization is sponsoring a roughage-based bull test this winter, and we will have substantial gain and conversion data derived from that effort. Best, Aubracusa [/QUOTE]
