[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 655232, member: 7645"] Knersie, when I started college back in 1989 the Auburn Bull Test was measuring feed efficiency and intake even then and had been doing so for some YEARS before I got there. I am completely at a loss as to why anybody in 2009 is still sending bulls to a test that does NOT measure feed efficiency, much less where they find the suckers to buy them. We have study after study showing that the highest Average Daily Gain bulls are often not very efficient.....they often just eat a whole lot. Without the ability to measure individual intakes, such a test is not really telling you anything significant as to whether a bull's progeny will perform in a feed lot or not. [/QUOTE]
