[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1838885, member: 42463"] Yeah, but we can breed them to finish at a thousand pounds and 12/14 months, and on less feed per pound. And I know it's not traditional. That's probably the reason anyone would give, basically... that it's not how it's done. That it's not what feedlots want. That consumers are used to buying ten pound steaks. (okay, that's a little exaggerated) But the whole extra feed thing bothers me. We've made great strides in feed efficiency, but not in speed of finishing... and yet the genetics are out there.
