[QUOTE="gusea305, post: 1729968, member: 28927"] Because none of that is predictable in the slightest. It would require the same allele packet for tenderness from all 3 breeds. Each breeding is only a 50% chance to pass on 1 allele of the same gene. If the genes are not the same in all 3 breeds then you just cut out that entire packet. The chances of losing marbling are at least 75% if the marbling genes are the same between the 3 breeds. You just do not know what you will get. A balanced genetic profile is far better than trying to breed for one or two traits. [/QUOTE]
