[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 898830, member: 6897"] They don't convert more efficiently. They are just given more to convert....they're sucking down a gallon or more of good rich milk everyday in addition to the feed. (We are discussing increasing weaning weights). Pull it off the cow, give it time to adjust and it gains no faster than the others especially out of the commercial grade of feed stocked in most feed stores. Put them back on a high quality calf starter or a high energy textured horse feed and you might get a little better conversion rate but the feed goes from $10 a bag to $16. [/QUOTE]
