[QUOTE="Dan Powell, post: 7154754, member: 1370"] Yes exactly. All this talk of improving "productivity" (aka feeding more concentrates in a feedlot type environment) and modelling beef in the chicken industry is not just barking up the wrong tree, it's in the wrong bit of woodland altogether. If you want to use that concentrate with maximum productivity feed it to humans, then fish, or chickens or pigs and maybe at a stretch to dairy cows. Promoting 10 month old bull beef as sustainable is laughable. What is a beef cow for? Converting forage to meat. Simple. If this means that total output of beef drops per unit area of grassland, then that is a GOOD thing. It will support prices for 100% pasture fed beef which is where the focus of genetic research should be. [/QUOTE]
