[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 359055, member: 1604"] These 'Eating Contests' that don't measure feed efficiency are only a marketing scheme to me. Some are suspect then. Bull Tests were initially designed to help the producer choose the best genetics from his calf crop for his own use before AI was widely used. Producers might take a entire contemporary group (except obvious culls) to the test, keep the best one or two, sell the rest to others and packers. It evolved into a "Bull Test Sale". The absolute best way to find the merit of a bull is to feed his progeny. [/QUOTE]
