[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 349520, member: 3333"] If you want to sell beef (and have the very best for your family), IMO you should start with cattle that have a genetic predisposition for tenderness, i.e. the DNA tenderness genes. All the good management (and weather) in the world cannot make up for genetic toughness. Here's a breed comparison for the original two tenderness genes: [img]http://cattletoday.com/photos/data/500/medium/DNA_Chart012.jpg[/img] You will note that Murray Greys have the most frequent percentage of "one and two star" ratings for the then known tenderness genes. A third gene(another type of calpain) has been discovered, but the company involved( Bovigen) will not publish another breed comparison. I was told it was bad for business & they won't release comparisons anymore. Take a look at Murray Greys. We've been selling the beef for over 10 years and have never had a complaint; a waiting list in fact: [url=http://www.murraygrey.org]http://www.murraygrey.org[/url] [/QUOTE]
