[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 522262, member: 3235"] The coversion figure is based on a dry matter basis. They use the Growsafe system wich utilizes scales and RFID tags to track every time the animal eats and how much he eats. The bulls were penned 6 bulls to a pen and were fed a ration of soybean hull pellets, corn, DDG, and a supplement. Check out [url=http://WWW.Growsafe.com]http://WWW.Growsafe.com[/url]. The bull started at 550 lbs and came out 829 lbs on a 76 day test. I don't think that the results are available online. I would be willing to share my data with you but should probably OK it with the other breeders. I ultrasounded the bulls after they had been home about 3 weeks. I visited with Dr Kerley from the university of MO about the data and he says there ar no abnormalities in the data at all. He beleives the data to be accurate. He called him a true outlier. The challenge now is to test some of his offspring and see if they can do it too. Thanks for your questions and your interest Brian Thanks for the interest. [/QUOTE]
