What is 261 Relationships of production practices for producers participating in the UK Beef IRM Farm Program about?

backgrounded steer (BkSt) prices. Corresponding bull prices (per head) from annual Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association bull test sales held in March and December were obtained. Regression analysis (PROC REG) in SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC) was utilized to determine relationships between calf prices and corresponding bull sale averages. FdSt prices were highly associated with FdHf (r 2 = 0.99, P < 0.0001) and BkSt prices (r 2 = 0.96, P < 0.0001). FdSt and bull value were highly correlated over the 11-yr period (r 2 = 0.91, P < 0.0001). Bulls were valued approximately 18 \* (FdSt) or 3.27 \* (FdSt per head). FdHf were valued less than FdSt and had a greater regression coefficient (B 1 = 19.5, 3.5 \* (FdHf per head)) when compared to bull prices and remained highly correlated (r 2 = 0.89, P < 0.0001). Bulls were worth approximately 24 \* (BkSt) or 2.8 \* (BkSt per head), and there remained a strong relationship between these prices (r 2 = 0.90, P < 0.0001). Angus bull prices were more sensitive to changes in FdSt prices (B 1 = 18.0, P < 0.0001) compared to Simmental and Simmental hybrid prices (B 1 = 15.7, P < 0.05 and 17.5, P < 0.001, respectively). Compared to Simment
