[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 154416, member: 1604"] Because of the high correlation of growth traits to feed efficiency it is ALREADY more important than WW or YW. It's just that there is no easy way to collect data on individual animals for the prediction in genetics. I remember my first show calf in 1963. I weighed the feed I fed him each day and his conversion rate was 14:1. That is totally unacceptable today. I had a bull last year that converted 5:1. [/QUOTE]
