[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 136348, member: 968"] All well and good, MikeC, but unless or until the USDA changes grading requirements, it is toooo costly to be producing double muscling cattle unless you have a private market for all your cattle. And just because they are double muscled does not mean they are tender. As far as I remember, the double muscled Pieds have other genes contributing to the tenderness fact. So, if you're chasing tenderness and use Pieds, those tenderness genes get diluted in an upgrading program. Seems to me, recent research claims 1 out 10 choice are tough. And no, I'm not like you, I don't have facts & figures at my fingertips. Just bits & pieces the feeble brain remembers. But, fact is - double muscle WILL NOT GRADE - they are "no-roll", unless I'm totally unaware of changes. Frankie, can you comment on this fact? [/QUOTE]
