Grow Safe Net Feed Intake Test
I know Austraila has epd's for net feed intake- but only for Angus and
understand that Canada has developed net feed epd's for all breeds.
This is a bottom line epd can anyone comment on bloodlines involved
or is it an individual trait. I also understand that this trait is 35% heritable.
Information I've received suggest's that the net feed intake varies from
4.7 lbs of corn to 8.3 lbs per pound of gain.
I'm takeing 4 bull's to Texas ( they are 7/8 brothers ) to see where my program is in relation to others. I will be replaceing herd bulls after the first of the year.
