Abstract
A beef cattle feeding profitability predication contest was established in conjunction with the Mississippi Farm to Feedlot Project, an 11-year-old program similar to many cattle feeding Extension programs offered across the nation. This contest was initiated to demonstrate the value of knowing the genetic and profit potential of calves prior to deciding to feed these animals or market them at weaning or after stocker grazing. It also stimulated renewed interest in the Mississippi Farm to Feedlot Project and expanded the audience reached by this educational effort. Results of this contest indicate that it was successful in achieving its objectives.
