Focus on Females

Our position at the forefront of the push to measure feed efficiency has lead to our involvement in a number of research projects over the years.  Most recently, we have been working with researchers at Iowa State University to determine if highly efficient growing heifers retain that efficiency advantage when they become mature brood cows.  Read a brief overview of the project here, and check back to see what we find.

Warden's Farm Noted in Beef Magazine Feature on "Doability"

The pioneering evaluation of feed efficiency at Warden's Farm continues to draw more notice as interest in the genetics of efficiency grows.  The June 2007 issue of Beef magazine includes an article on the nuts and bolts of measuring economically-important traits such as feed efficiency, entitled "Measuring Doability".  Read the article here.
