Iowa feedlot test tracks cattle with early weighing data
One of 88 feedlot performance demonstrations in Iowa runs at J W Evans farm near Crawfordsville. Jim Frier notes cattle are weighed and tagged at start, then about every 60 days. Evans uses a farm scale, corrals, and a computer at Iowa State University to compute daily gains and identify top and bottom performers. Evans oversees about 100 Hereford steers, split between Texas and North Dakota stock, with notable gain differences and the program funded by local extension and beef producers.
