[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1685865, member: 41001"] Marb epd in Angus is largely influenced by %imf ultrasound data, they take the estimated correlation of marbling and imf%, plus a little bit of actual carcass data (usually hardly any on a lot of cattle), and derive the marb epd. As a general rule around 9% imf is prime, but don’t quote me on that, and marbling “fleck” size matters, as large continuous flecks don’t count more towards carcass marbling score than a tiny fleck. You take total number of flecks per area to determine marbling score and in turn carcass grade. [/QUOTE]
