[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 545673, member: 13"] Well, I wouldn't say "lots" of bulls can gain 6 lbs per day on feed. I've seen "lots" of Angus bulls do it, but only [b]know[/b] of one other breed doing it at our test station. A Brangus bull gained 6 lbs one year. That doesn't mean another breed hasn't had a 6 lb gainer; I have to admit that I don't read all the other breed test reports. But I do agree that the industry needs more performance tested bulls working in pastures across the country. Testing bulls is expensive. RFI testing is even more expensive. Breeders simply aren't going to shell out the bucks for testing if they can't get paid for it. The cost of feed is hurting bull testing station participation. [/QUOTE]
