[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 817869, member: 7645"] If they weaned at 205 days weighing 700 lbs and weighed 1400 lbs 160days later eating 8 lbs of grower ration a day that would be just 1.8 lbs of feed per pound of gain :shock: That is pretty darn good efficiency for a catfish. I am not saying that it is not THEORETICALLY doable (after 10 generations of heavy selection for feed efficiency); but you are right that bull would be worth a heck of a lot more than $4500! [/QUOTE]
