[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 740485, member: 3235"] That really isn't any surprise is it? But did they receive enough of a premium for the additional choice and prime to make up for the higher yield grades? They could start selecting for more REA and end up with larger maturing, later maturing and poorer maternal cows too or they could select for less BF and end up with harder fleshing cows that take more feed to winter and under any scenario, they may be worse off than they are now. I don't know the operation, but it sounds to me like they maybe haven't learned their lesson. Single trait selection for IMF resulted in lower YGs but now it sounds like they may be single trait selecting for lower YGs. What traits will they give up in this quest? Brian [/QUOTE]
