[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 522294, member: 3235"] Knersie, I hear what your saying, I have thought a lot about the accuracy of this data too. I am willing to bet that if you did a distributiion chart and plot the FG ratio of every bull in the test, you would end up with a perfect bell shaped curve. Alot in the middle and a few at each end. Just like any test has. Even with the FG data from Australia averaging 5.8, it is enttirely possible that you would find bulls that would be well over 50% above and below that numer. That leaves a normal range of under 2.9 to 8.7. It is entirely possible that there would be cattle outside that normal range. Keep in mind, this isn't data I collected. It was done under the direction of Dr Kerley in a univesity testing facility. He has nothing to gain by the results of the test. I would question the data more too, but I had two other bulls that converted 3.98. Feed conversion is calculated the same here as anywhere else. Brian [/QUOTE]
