[QUOTE="bse, post: 1205352, member: 13989"] Lots of good points, the RADG is going to become very important I think. Someone does make lots of money and not usually the producer, but its a good way to get exposure for your animals. If your looking to buy a bull its a good place to find different genetics and know exactly how they gain, how they scan and things that can be very important, a good bull will make you money. They have a warming up and cooling off period, when they go on test maybe the first 2 weeks there just on feed getting used to it so the playing field is equal then feed maybe 80 days all data taken and info calculated to see how they gain on feed, then the last 30 days or so there brought down on feed so there ready to go to work.(probably not exact number of days) So if you get a bull that will gain 5lbs a day on feed and passes that to his calves wouldnt that be good info to have? I may be wrong but i think right now you can afford to feed calves that will gain. [/QUOTE]
