NALRF/ SDSU RESEARCH COMPLETED 2025
• Recently, South Dakota State University completed a study designed to document how genetic differences and days on feed impact profitability to larger outweights and different days on feed. 216 head of cattle raised on two Montana ranches then fed and harvested on research at SDSU. Calves sired by proven Limousin, Lim-Flex, and Angus A.I. sires (1/3 each) on commercial Angus cows. • Lim-Flex sired calves generated more profit than strait-bred Angus sired calves across all three study groups (From $13 to $34 per head) • Limousin sired calves were more profitable than their Angus sired counterparts in 2 of the 3 study groups.
