[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 888093, member: 13182"] PK1, I have no doubt that the carcass results you gave in the Australian study are correct. The study is limited because it only addresses improvements in carcass quality on a small non beef population of cows (on the Jersey the least productive beef breed in dairy use) and does not even compare carcass traits of the limo calves to other double muscled breeds or the combining effects of using different breeds of dam (Angus, Charolais, Holstein etc.) This study also does not talk about growth, fertility or any other things important in a beef herd. It would be interesting for MARC or another research institution do a larger scale more comprehensive study on all relevant traits for using such bulls in a large scale beef operation. If you could find the funding for such a study it would be the first step to market acceptance outside Europe for the pied and similar breeds. [/QUOTE]
