Are the 1150-1200 pound cows reality or myth ?

[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 958357, member: 7509"] Greg, you bring up a good point, I really don't know how mine would grade on a grid. But as you point out, the most important things for my market are taste and tenderness. I recall reading some recent data that said marbling was chosen to grade because that was the only thing they could SEE on the line. Marbling is not the whole story, it has just evolved in the industry. Obviously there is a correlation between marbling and taste and tenderness but this article stated it is possible to have tasty, tender beef with less than prime marbling. One of my goals by grazing corn is to get some marbling on them. However corn grain is a smaller percent of the steers' diet than is typical in the industry. That will be especially true this year with the drought and lower corn yields. My point is that there is more to producing a tasty tender steak than just the marbling criteria. Jim [/QUOTE]
