Description

Excerpt from Seventy-Second Annual Report, North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949<br/><br/>Bulls used in the tests were N. C. State Lad II and Bill Domino. Calves sired by N. C. State Lad II were 14 pounds heavier than those by Bill Domino. Steers sired by these bulls showed no differences in their rate of gain in the feed lot. However, the daughters of N. C. State Lad II gained an average of 19 pounds more during their first year after weaning than those of Bill Domino. The calves of the daughters of N. C. Lad II were 45 pounds heavier at weaning than those from the daughters of Bill Domino. The steers sired by Bill Domino were graded an average of one-third of a slaughter grade above those sired by Lad. This indicates a slightly higher value per pound on the hoof. Stewart and Godley think it is doubtful that this increase in value would offset the additional pounds of product sired by N. C. State Lad II. In this study, the bull calves weaned at an average of 27 pounds more than the heifers. There was no relationship between the initial feed lot weight and rate of gain. Neither did the rate of gain in feed lot affect the slaughter grade of the steers.
