[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 521113, member: 3235"] Here is a bull I raised that I sent to the University of MO for evaluation performance and RFI evaluation. [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/07092008-03-16DSCN1457.JPG[/img] He was top on the test with a RFI of -5.81. He gained 4.07 per day to rank 7th and was the highest feed Conversion bull in the test with a 1.81 lbs of feed to 1 lb of gain. I had 2 other bulls that a FG ratio of 3.98 with an ADG of 4.21. I also had the highest ADG group of bulls there, with the lowest average RFI score and the best FG ratio. His EPDs are BW .5 WW 44 YW 76 M 16 REA +.10 and IMF .07 and his REA/cwt was 1.28 My question is if the average FG ratio was 5.72, what is a bull worth that can gain more weight and do it on 1/3 less feed than the average bull? All comments are welcome. Brian [/QUOTE]
