[QUOTE="FungusProudKY31, post: 1671427, member: 40881"] Studies at CSU decades ago were based on cattle in feedlot conditions. FE cattle on concentrated feed had less middle girth. So the bull test results might be good for terminal cattle on some of these traits but would be different on pasture cattle with no supplements. And I tend to believe that some bulls will not have the highest RFI because they are out doing "bull stuff" rather than just bellying up to the feed trough. For me, a bull developed from grazing tells me more than one that has been in a confined test. [/QUOTE]
