[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 638121, member: 7645"] Since the loin, rib, and sirloin is worth 3 or 5 times as much as the round (most of which becomes burger meat) do we place waaaaayy too much phenotypic emphasis on the butt? Until ultrasound it was hard to get a good feel for the size of the loin so we looked for expression of muscling where it was easier too see.....the butt and the shoulder. I am not saying I endorse hatchet butts; but a 15" scanned ribeye area and an avg butt MAY be more desirable than a 12" scanned ribeye area and a good butt. This is one of those questions that our Animal Science Universities need to answer for us. [/QUOTE]
