[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 279578, member: 13"] How would you measure the "muscle gain"? Tests have to be based on something measurable. Our bull test (a gain test) is based on recommendations of the BIF. It uses ADG and YW ratios to identify the "top" bull of the test. The most expensive time in a calf's life is the time it spends in the feedlot. The ability to gain quickly is as important as any trait. The last few years, though, bull buyers have started looking at more than just that trait. Today they're also looking at IMF, fat, $Beef EPDs, etc. [/QUOTE]
