Arkansas Steer Feedout Program 2002-2003

摘要

The objective of the Arkansas Steer Feedout Program is to provide cow-calf producers information about the postweaning performance and carcass characteristics of their calves. For the 2002-2003 feedout, hot carcass weight, quality grade, days on feed,yield grade, dressing percentage, medicine cost, and feed cost of gain were significant factors that affected the feedlot return over specified cost. Cow-calf producers who participated in this program can use the information to better evaluate their cattle breeding programs.
