[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7126"] Frankie, I am not tying to create a "magic bullet" solution. Far from it. I am merely thinking how can I add an tool tool to produce what the consumer wants more efficently. A composite double muscled line would not be useful in many situations. Producing replacements is one obivous example. By the way the Angus Jersey cross is very similar to the waygu. This may be a good proof of concept animal to see if a wagyu type carcass can be produced with out waygu breeding. This animal probably would be better gerowing and not give up much marbling ability.
