In talking with the Purina Rep at the Conference, he said that from Fingerling to about 2#, the FCR on LMB being fed their food is right around 1.7.
Humbug! That's a best case scenario in a lab where no feed is wasted as in fish are fed exact percentages of their weight etc. after periodic weights are taken of the fish. Sorry I don't buy it for general application. My guess is conversion is really in the 2 range.
Great sales pitch though.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
