Taking Efficiency to the Next Level: Hereford leaders and breeders pursue data to document and build feed efficiency

摘要

Some things in life are just plain true — hard to test, document or prove with scientific evidence, but generally understood via experience. In the cattle business, one such truth is that Herefords and Hereford-crosses are efficient converters of grass and grain. Generations of cattlemen have told it true. Still, we've come to an age where a man's word often just isn't enough. Data is demanded. Answering this call, the Hereford breed is seeking data to confirm what has been noted for years by the man on the ragne, and more recently, the man in the feedlot. Herefords are efficient critters, and efficiency directly affects profit.
