Oklahoma Forage-Based Buck Test Reports
The report from the 2011 buck test is now available. Forty bucks
competed in the 2011 test; champions had an average daily weight gain
of 0.36 pounds per day - over 50% greater than the test average.
In addition, a new report summarizes results from the five years of
the buck test all together, including statistical analyses of
relationships between the bucks' performance and external factors such
as weather and parasite loads, and an account of how test protocols
have changed over time to fine-tune the buck test as a tool for herd
improvement.
