[QUOTE="Badlands, post: 344890, member: 5010"] His REA/CWT will be smaller when you measure him next time. He'll grow fast enough after weaning to get an idea of his potential. As long as the group is gaining about 2.5 - 3 pounds per day on the average, the animals are gaining enough to rank correctly for genetic potential. The only thing you give up is bragging rights for maximum yearling weight. One poster surprised me a bit with a suggestion to feed for higher gains, one didn't surprise me at all. If your program is built around bragging rights, then feed him hard. If your program is NOT built around braggin rights, then don't feed him as hard. Badlands [/QUOTE]
