[QUOTE="ROB, post: 546099, member: 3467"] i understand your perspective, but i don't understand the reasoning behind the idea that if a replacemeent can convert grass into pounds more efficiently than a current herd matron- she can't put calves on the ground that will be as efficient in the feedlot as that herd matrons (given the fact that all other selection traits are met). i can see that if one uses single trait selection - no matter what the trait - it will normally have undesireable results. selecting for "RFI only" wouldn't be any different. but if you were to add the RFI trait to the selection criteria, how does that not compliment the end result?
