Abstract:
This study examined improvements in the
finishing performance of steers and heifers from
1990 to 1998 by measuring the rate of technological
change. The rates of technological
change were 0.58% per year for finishing steers
and 1.01% per year for finishing heifers. The
relatively higher rate for heifers indicates that
technological change over the study period
favored the performance of heifers.
