[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 174992, member: 13"] I think Gardiners measure feed efficiency in their bull test. The producer of the ABS Angus bull 4.8 of Ironwood has been using a program called something like "pinpointer" system in his bull tests for a long time. They were comfortable enough with it's accuracy to change the bull's name to reflect his efficiency. But, you're right, it's not a cheap thing to do. Our bull test station has looked into it and we just can't afford the technology. We're still rating bulls by ADG and YW. [/QUOTE]
