[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 888428, member: 13182"] That MARC data is good for a start but we need to: 1. Test several different double muscled breeds or strains together to see any differences between them in a North American environment. Much of the MARC data is at least 20 years old. 2. Do research into how these breeds can be successfully used in a commercial beef herd in North America. The management issues are bigger than you think. 3. Collect performance data (EPDs?) and progeny test the bulls to find out which ones work in the real world. I don't see any data on how the individual bulls work on cows in commercial conditions versus other bulls. This very important. Most of the Pied bulls I see have the same breeding as they did 25 years ago. Why no progression? [/QUOTE]
