      abstract = {We estimate the value of using genetic information to make  fed cattle marketing decisions.
Efficiency gains result  from sorting cattle into marketing groups, including more  accurate optimal
days-on-feed and reduced variability of  returns to cattle feeding. The value of using  genetic
information to selectively market cattle ranged  from $1–$13/head depending on how a producer
currently  markets cattle and the grid structure. Although these  values of genetic information were
generally higher than  those reported in previous research, they were still not  enough to offset the
current cost of genetic testing (about  $40/head).},
