If you take the best 5%of cattle from each breed then Black Angus would run away with it where quality is concerned. At the bottom 5% there probably isn't any breed any worse. Large gene pool I guess.Frankie":exxk8rhv said:ollie":exxk8rhv said:Wow.. Good gaining lad. Post a link to his sale picture or pedigree .
Yes, I'd guess that's a record for the test station. When we started testing our bulls, you could top a test with a 4+ gaining bull. I well remember the first 6 lb. gainer, and now we're moving on past that. I don't have a photo or pedigree, Ollie. As I said, he's sired by VRD, but there's no other pedigree info on the sale report. If his owner consigns him to the sale in March, I'll let you know. His pedigree and total performance info will be in the catalog and it's usually available online. They don't do photos, though.
Frankie they don't have katelin gates there so you can measure feed conversion individually do they. I think there is starting to be some cattle out gain their feed conversion number. This calf would only have to convert at 6.75 to 1 to do that. Fantastic! I love good cattle.
