Big news at the test station! We are expanding! Cooperators have invested in adding eight GrowSafe® digital feed intake systems to the station. This will double our testing capacity!
With this increase in capacity, we will now be testing heifers for feed efficiency as well. Understanding the efficiency of females, along with selecting proven efficient bulls, will greatly accelerate genetic improvement in a herd, extend your forage, and, with proper management, increase stocking rates, which in turn boosts profits!
This year we are welcoming 22 cooperators from four states (New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, and Oklahoma). Ten breeds will be represented, including Akaushi, Angus, Braunvieh, Charolais, Hereford, Red Angus, Salers, SimAngus, Simmental, and Waygu. All told, we will be testing 288 animals for the 2024-2025 season!
