[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 279932, member: 2862"] Hallelujah! :) However I know why many rely on the ADG, and thats because its tough to individually monitor each bulls feed intake (on ranch anyway). Forage developed bulls are even tougher. So as long as every bull has had access to the same feed, the theory is that the bull with the highest ADG is the one with the best feed conversion. Obviously, this is a flawed line of thought, however, how does one gauge feed consumption with forage developed bulls? As far as I know, there aren't any kind of spiffy meters available for forage, like there is for grain. Rod [/QUOTE]
