[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 391143, member: 1604"] It takes lots more energy to put on a pound of fat than it does a pound of muscle. There was a bull on test one year (I won't mention breed - :lol: ) that was gaining just as fast as the bigger (larger framed) bulls but was eating about 35 lbs per day plus hay. In the end he had almost 2 inches of backfat and his conversion ratio was at 10:1. He was one of your so-called "Easier Fleshing" bulls. :lol: [/QUOTE]
