Efficiency Factors

[capparelli]

I am working on my profiecency award in feeding and showing steers application for FFA. One of the sections is on efficiency factors for my steer project. I have ADG, cost of gain and his feed conversion listed, but I am trying to think of anything else that might fit in that catagory. Can anyone think of anything else? Any ideas would be appreciated.

WDA...weight for day of age.

So I would take his weight and divide it by his age?

Subtract his birth weight first. Then divide by how old he is in days.

WDA is calculated by including the birthweight.

ADG is without birthweight.
