[QUOTE="Badlands, post: 356467, member: 5010"] Aero, I should say that the general method that you are using (plugging in constants) is about all that any of us can do. Nothing "wrong" with it. The problem isn't "really" the constants. The problem is just what you pointed out with your example - there is so little profit difference that it is more about matching the genetics to YOUR management than it is about which size is RIGHT for EVERYONE. When we get down to such a small difference, isn't there something else we could work on that would bring us to a better level of profitability? I've seen works that said genetics is only about 10-15% of the profit equation. I think that is true for folks that do have their genetics inline with their management and environment. For folks that have their management or genetics out of whack relative to each other, I think the numbers are going to be higher. In other words, genetics are no problem if everything is working. If something is not working, then straightening out genetics can help if your management is "constant". Badlands [/QUOTE]
