As you can see from this chart, if Bull A and Bull D were steers in the feedlot and were grown from 700 to 1400 lbs.: Bull A would have eaten 5,859.67 lbs. less feed (2.93 tons less!) and hit 1400 lbs with a 4 week less time on feed! Bull A would have saved you $549 in feed and yardage. Why does that matter to the commercial cattle operation? We know the calves in your operation will not be identical to these bulls we are offering, but we do know the Feed Efficiency is a highly heritable trait that will be passed to the calves they sire. Assuming a bull will have 100 calves in his lifetime, the value to the industry of bull A is $10,981 more than Bull D. Not only does Bull A add value to the beef industry, we believe more efficient daughters will also perform better in your pastures, requiring less supplemental feed and utilizing whatever feed you have more efficiently. That seems pretty important to us!
