[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1765218, member: 968"] I am definitely not a fan. Someone needs to explain to me why anyone needs/wants more marbling than a Choice or Choice+ steak. I have been told they are soooo much more moist and tender. Well, if I had 2" of fat around my hunk of steak and white specks of marbling (fat) all through the meat, I would "assume" it would be moist. AGE has more of an effect on tenderness than any other one thing - to the best of my knowledge. Why would anyone pay more money for a tiny steak? Why would anyone sacrifice all that muscling just so they could get more marbling? I understand the general "consumer" is gullible and likes to listen the latest and greatest FAD, so they are willing to pay way more than the meat is worth. If my 1 cow can raise me a 700# calf at 7 months of age on grass and hay (and mineral), how could I justify breeding her so that she will be lucky to give me a 500# calf? What about the skinny arse heifers you end up with? Oh, yeah, I can use her as a breeding animal. WooHoo! These are my thoughts. Please try to convince me I'm all wrong. [/QUOTE]
