[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 672361, member: 6681"] I've watched Dr. JP on the midland videos before and it all makes sense. That's why I find it so interesting. But nothing there even hints at eyeballing phenotype for RFI. It also makes sense to me that different phenotypes will prosper or fail on different feeds.(?) Gerald Fry, among others, feel like they have pretty much identified phenotypes (and some genetics) that prosper on grasses. Looking up "grass fed phenotypes" you can get a pretty clear picture of what they believe to be the most efficient body types of cattle relative to grass feeding. So is this phenotype also efficient on grains or the type of feeding you do? I think it's so important to profitability these days that studies will continue to try to identify the "markers" so to speak. [/QUOTE]
