[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 84713, member: 13"] It's an expensive proposition to measure feed conversion and we haven't done that at OBI. The industry standard for feed efficiency has been ADG. Some feed test stations do and I feel confident that Angus will shine there, too. Gardiner Angus has been testing his own bulls for years. Warden Farms in Iowa has been measuring that trait and ABS picked up their bull 4.8 of Ironwood. His conversion rate is his name. The Texas Beef Development Center has installed a new system to measure feed efficiency. Can you list any Hereford operations that measure the feed efficiency on their bulls? And will you share those bull test station results that test for feed conversion? [/QUOTE]
