[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 479585, member: 7439"] This study which I read in its entirety in Hereford World, was not about the price per pound at the salebarn. It tracked the total cost of production, and what the total income was from each animal. The Hereford sired calves had a higher ADG on feed, were more efficient convertors, and had a lower morbidity rate. The fact that there was a mortality rate among the straight blacks that was non-existent among the baldies also helped the Hereford sired calves' bottom line. That doesn't mean that the results will be the same next year, but that's what they were. I for one was chagrined that the baldies were behind in quality grade. I think they should kick every Line One bull out of the study and stack the deck with more Feltons and Mark Donalds. I think that would narrow the gap tremendously. Forgive me, Line One fans, but all in all I am not impressed with Line One cattle, especially regarding IMF. [/QUOTE]
