I have no idea. But probably it's not something we can change with management. I'll bet Dan Dorn at Decatur County Feedyard would know. They have a very sophisticated program that runs each calf through the chute on arrival with an x-ray, ultrasound, and body measurements, among other analysis...

All I'm saying is the premiums for better yield grades is not nearly enough. There's not a high correlation between backfat/kidney fat and marbling. Not understanding your analogy.

I thought that was common knowledge. Dr. Lisa Kriese-Anderson at Auburn used to beat this into our heads at every Beef Cattle Improvement Association Meeting & Workshop.. Here's a quick google reference:

If that were entirely correct, wouldn't there be a higher premium paid for leaner cattle, and an offset charged (even more deductions)for poor yielding carcasses? We already know that it takes twice the $dollars$ to put on a pound of fat vs. lean muscle. The cattle/beef grading system seems...

I've heard this a lot, but in reality the EPD's are as good as their "Accuracy" value. They cannot be manipulated.

Of course phenotypic traits are important. Yes, good feet and legs are mighty important. But you can have improvement in other traits at the same time if you know how. Remember, EPD's are for the comparison of two animals only........Say maybe 2 bulls you are thinking of buying. Then if they...

Keep in mind that EPD's are a tool to use for selection of traits that we cannot see. (Phenotypics) Except for maybe Frame Score. So many traits are antagonistic that it is often called EPD overload.

Ignorance of "EPD's" is the only way that EPD's have been a "bigger is better" concept. We were all told of the upcoming "Frame Creep" when breeding for growth only characteristics. Excessive feeder calf & cow feed costs are very well laid out in the article.............. I'm just glad to be...

Bitterweed has got to be the worst.

In pure stands of any clover, we only allow them 2 hrs per day of grazing. Makes the stand last much longer from the cows tromping it down, urinating, & crapping on it. After about the 3rd day they get accustomed to eating hard when they are let into it and will easily be moved out after the...

Brazil is undoubtedly the most corrupt country in the world...................almost as bad as South Korea.

From what I have read, NAFTA will have to be repealed and they'll have to start all over again. They're too far apart.............

NAFTA is being re-negotiated as we speak.
