[QUOTE="novatech, post: 455424, member: 5494"] Without a feed efficiency test of some type on individual animals of what ever breed, frame size or weight, isn,t it pretty much speculation? As a general rull certain things may be true but do not hold up on the individuals. How could a frame score 6 at 1600 lbs. be any more efficient than a frame score 9 with the same weight? Just because it is a longhorn does not make it more efficient. Does a 1500 lb. longhorn have the same efficiency as a 900 lb. longhorn? Way to much is being taken for granted as to breed, frame score, weight, etc. I do not understand where anything can be assumed as to carcass quality or efficiency without testing the individual.
