[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1597977, member: 122"] Don't want to speak for Jeanne but I think she was referring to how little difference in the amount of estrogen in the meat between implanted and non-implanted beef. If you have one pen of cattle you aren't going to "notice" any difference between this years calves that are implanted and last years calves that were not implanted. The only way to really see if implants pay for themselves is to compare side by side groups and compare the average daily gain, feed conversion, etc. Implants aren't a miracle tool that can make a skinny calf nicely finished in a short amount of time. What they do is speed up the whole process a couple weeks. So instead of a group of calves finishing on Dec. 15th, they will be ready Dec. 1st. Might not seem like a big deal to they person with a couple head, but if you have several hundred and can save 2 weeks worth of feed and yardage it adds up. [/QUOTE]
