[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 874999, member: 8973"] The probability is that under certain circumstances the implants may benefit. The article referenced above is an employee of the implant manufacturer. I have personally witnessed how reports can be made to create results that the writer wants implied. An example.....a manufacturer was bombarded by field reports that a V-belt was failing on a machine they produced. A lab report stated that it was not true. The units in the lab had thousands of hours of use and zero V-belt failures. Truth was the lab test machines got a maintenance routine performed monthly. The manufacturer's instructions for the monthly maintenance included installing a NEW V-Belt. I did my own implant evaluation. For roughly 6 months, I implanted every other steered calf and then followed their weights as I marketed them. My results for my livestock on my farm did not justify the expense and my time. I stopped. Now, after seeing the pics Dylan Biggs posted of his grass finished animals will share with me that he uses a certain product, I will make an effort to go back to implanting. [/QUOTE]
