[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 705181, member: 7645"] WDA is "weight per day of age" and it is figured by subtracting the birth weight from the end point weight and dividing that by the age (in days) and is not test ADG (which can be manipulated). I really couldn't care less what TWO steers did. That proves NOTHING, there is a healthy boss steer in every pen....(and you have to factor in the two steers that went to the sick pen and the one that died when you calculate ADG to be scientifically accurate on pen weights). I still say that it is highly unlikely that you can finish a whole calf crop year in 12 months year in and year out without pouring the grain down the throat of the nursing calves and/or their momas, without sacrificing marbling, and keeping the cows' size below 1200 lbs (in good flesh). Through out all this I have gone way out of my way to say it is POSSIBLE. [/QUOTE]
