[QUOTE="blacksnake, post: 155288, member: 566"] I think what everyone is seeing is the result of the work being done on the bovine genome project and there will be even more things to come. I think Bovigen is going to have another tenderness gene rolled out right after the first of the year. I don't think we should be too upset with Bovigen for adding new ones. I think all they are doing is performing the tests for the various genes as they are discovered in all of the various research that is ongoing around in the US. Australia was the first country to really get into testing. This should be viewed as another tool for improvement. The whole thing about Bovigen rating the animals is sort of misleading. They are just reporting on test results and it is not subjective. Basically an animal can have two copies of each gene. So as of today there have been 5 genes identified. So a 10 star animal has both copies of all of the genes. Bovigen can not release the results unless the owner of the animal agrees. Everyone should accept all of this new technology because its coming no matter what we think about it. My 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
