[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 345730, member: 13"] I have looked at MARC reports that have similar info as the North Dakota SU link, several reports on crossbreeding effects on growth, gain and carcass quality. But I've seen none of them that show the crossbred steers gained noticably better than purebred bulls of various breeds, including Angus. I'd be happy to look at some if you will post links. I can learn. The question seems to be can you teach? Feed Efficiency is difficult to track in real life. There are many bull test/development stations across the US. Most of them use ADG as an indicator of efficiency. The sire of our 6 lb test gainer also produced a bull that they named 4point8 because of his feed efficiency. [/QUOTE]
