Wondering if someone could explain which epds to watch for if a guy is wanting to select for feed efficiency. And if it makes a difference I’d be more interested in cattle that do well in a forage based diet.
 
$ENG is a big one to. Totally agree with daneg. WY and MT genetics seem to do really well in the mid west. If they can survive out there they can thrive here.
 
High RADG and medium to low DMI should be the way to efficiency. Seems a lot of the high gainers have big DMI along with high RADG, which means they may gain well, but they eat a lot to do it.
