[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 431353, member: 2306"] MikeC, of course earlyfinishers are not NECESSARILY moneymakers. That's as obvious as saying high-growth cattle are not necessarily profitable either. It's just one trait of many that we all desire in our cattle. And I have never heard a feedlot owner complain about cattle finishing too quick. They always have more cattle from other buyers/producers lined up and waiting for an empty pen. As for the testing itself, there will be excellent individuals in each breed that will be identified, but at the Olds College Steer-A-Year Trials, Galloways and Limousin have always been in the top 2 or 3 for over 20 years, at least for conversion. The other standouts are coming to me right now, but I'll look it up when i get time. [/QUOTE]
