[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 756710, member: 4353"] I have two bulls in a growth test that are due to finish next week. The bulls have transponders around their necks that activate the feeders you see in the background so that every bull's exact intake is measured. A standard ration is fed country wide, but for indexing and the resultant merits awarded only the test centre in question's 10 year average is used. [img]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t303/KNERSIE/IMG_6237.jpg[/img] Both the herefords are mine, the angus belongs to about 5 different breeders. [img]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t303/KNERSIE/IMG_6241.jpg[/img] The college hosting the bull test centre has the oldest Percheron stud in the country, unfortunately mechanization and adapted work methods has just about taken the horses out of their work, but they are still being bred here for the novelty value and sentimental reasons. BTW its mrs Knersie in the photo. [img]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t303/KNERSIE/IMG_6245.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
