[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1088067, member: 21715"] First, I'm not an expert ... so, I think I'm safe in telling you that I think most of what you wrote is correct. :tiphat: Second, consistency is very important in selling beef directly to consumers ... how do you think repeat business is built? Third, there are some easy rules of thumb one can use to determine the efficiency of converting inputs to flesh ... namely, taking (say) 8 month hip heights and converting them to projected adult frame score using any one of a number of well-accepted tables (which will also include a projected adult weight at that frame score) ... and then compare their current 8 month weight to their projected adult weight ... and calculate a proportion of "current weight vs. projected mature weight" ... then compare these relative percentages, and the higher the percentage animals are the ones most efficient at converting forage to flesh.
