[QUOTE="simme, post: 1675582, member: 40418"] "Testing" for comparison is good. I mentioned "fat" bulls and being finished like a feedlot animal. And tests where the goal is MAX gain and WDA. No doubt in my mind that getting a bull very FAT to MAXIMIZE his growth/weight ability at a young age leads to health issues and joint issues and feet issues and longevity issues. Same with a cow. Feed them like a feedlot animal and fertility will decline. Don't do that with your children, your dogs or your cattle - my opinion and I think most will agree. Some of which will then purchase overly conditioned bulls. I have no direct knowledge or experience with the Midland test, but their website says "We stay out of the “gain race,” setting up a level playing field and letting the bulls write their own efficiency story. Midland is the only major performance program feeding a low energy ration." It does not sound like my myth #6. [/QUOTE]
