[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 1205412, member: 19171"] If I understand your concern correctly, it is that these bulls are all grain-fed and the test doesn't not identify bulls that will make daughters that will perform on grass. That is correct, but I think looking at the pedigrees is a better indicator of that regardless of how the bull is developed. Also if a bull comes out of a test like that and he ultrasounds with higher IMF and Backfat, then he was probably a easier fleshing bull than his contemporaries. I would think this indicates his calves would be easier fleshing regardless of their diet. [/QUOTE]
