Factors affecting gains

Bell, F.W.; Smith, E.F.; Smith, W.H. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1952)

Cattle in the same feedlot differ considerably in their rate of gain. These differences in ability to gain can be explained only by difference in characteristics of individual animals, since all are under the same conditions ...
Feedlot and milo stubble fattening tests with feeder lambs.
