[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 278175, member: 2862"] Your analogy doesn't stick, sainty. As Ratfish said, you're comparing an undernourished human to a high protein fed human. In the case of true forage developed bulls, the forage should provide all they need for good growth and good muscling. Then the buyer has some kind of an idea what he's getting. That buyer knows how the bull is going to perform on grass, and you also have a good idea how that bull's offspring is going to perform on grass. Also animals that perform well on forage will perform very well on feed. The inverse is not necessarily so. Bulls that are stuffed full of high protein feed tend to fall apart when they hit grass in the summer and you have absolutely no idea how their offspring will perform. That line "fed to genetic potential"? I think its just a good way for some bull breeders to hide their poor genetics behind a feed bucket. Rod [/QUOTE]
