[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow2, post: 1557291, member: 32644"] In a previous post in the topic, Giganta, I talked about buying bulls from a local registered source. Those bulls were ruined by over-feeding. They were 6595 sons. Because of too many issues with these popular bloodlines I switched to another source for my bulls. The ones I've used the past 10 years have been Shoshone/Wye blood. They've come from North Dakota. The individual I've bought them from posted today on FB saying he'd just visited a feed yard north of Fargo. He went there to see three specific groups of heifers being fed as replacements. One group was Shoshone/Wye, the second group was SAV genetics and the third group was a representation of A.I. sires. He learned this: The SAV and A.I. heifers weigh 15% more than the Shoshone/Wye group and they are eating 25% more. The Shoshone/Wye heifers are weighing 700lbs with the others averaging 800 pounds.
