[QUOTE="Busterz, post: 546225, member: 7999"] At this point not much RFI testing has been done and there aren't that many cattle or breeds that have an epd for it yet. If I were a breed association I'd probably make getting a feed efficiency epd my #1 priority. I think at some point probably sooner than later feed yards are going to start seeking and then demanding cattle identified to be highly feed efficient. Its going to become a highly desireable trait. And if they ever identify some type of feed efficiency gene it will probably become a required trait. [/QUOTE]
