6772327; You stated that "The TDN on the grower ration is only 72%".  Can you please explain further.  Is that the TDN of the pellet, or the TMR?  Is that the level of TDN on a dry matter basis or as fed?  If as fed, what is the dry matter of the pellet?

Turning grass into beef  The 72 % TDN is on the pellet being fed and this is a dry matter number! Once you factor in the grass hay in being fed free choice the TMR that the bulls will be consuming will be much less than 72% as the hay is running 55-58% TDN on DM basis.    Thanks for the questions!

what's more important, a hundreth of a pound better ADG, or a higher selling average? 

I guess the consumer demand over rules the producer excitment.

I noticed that the top 3 selling angus bulls were all black...

It's pretty sad when Angus supporters are now forced to celebrate a $30 premium instead of the $3000 they used to. Perhaps they should enjoy this while it lasts  <beer> Have at it boys

On the plus side for the Shorthorn bull buyers they will get more performance and they got $30 towards their gas to get to sale <party>
