[QUOTE="dun, post: 45906, member: 34"] Depends on how low. And usually an adult will carry more BF then a feeder/butcher calf. A quarter to a half inch is pretty much acceptable. I think the ideal is something like .3 to .4 inches. But the feedlot/finisher can screw that up pretty badly. Last year the feedlot that bought or associations calves held them longer for a better market, or that was his excuse. Even the straightbred limo calves had YG 3-4, still graded high select and low choice. In my opinion, what he made on the hugher market he probably lost on feed and docks. But he owned the calves so it was his business. Just screwed up our carcass data. dun [/QUOTE]
