[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 743658, member: 5898"] Just a lifetime of experience runnin grass cattle and finishing our own cattle-lots of times you'll see an animal that didn't do great on pasture explode on feed-it's compensatory gain I imagine. If you put your selection pressure on feedlot characteristics your going to end iup with a group of cows that are pretty spendy to keep.if all things are equal on two bulls I'll use carcass data to break the tie but in the Angus breed most bulls we've used have thrown pretty good cattle feedlot wise. The yield grade on the steers could be better but the gris has changed so there is no real premium on Y3 AAA's so we'll probably just ship them sooner. [/QUOTE]
