[QUOTE="andybob, post: 431211, member: 2703"] To what extent will feedlots accept a slower rate of growth (more days in the pen) to benefit from a higher feed conversion rate? The research I am familiar with shows the higher feed conversion makes for better profitability overall, but turnover will be margially reduced. On the positive side for the feedlots, the research was on a specific purebred, the F1's retained their feed conversion while increasing the rate of growth, I just wonder which trait is more desireable if it were an either one or the other trait?
