[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1765321, member: 37941"] Originally Japanese cattle were work animals and selected as such. It's my understanding that over time selecting for better draft animals led to the unintended result of cattle with a genetic predisposition to higher marbling -- particularly in Japanese Black or red cattle. So your question could be answered as "yes they marble better than european breeds" or it could be "no they aren't all hyper-marbling" -- both might be correct. Just like in Angus cattle -- there are sires that marble better than others, there are sires that have more fertile female offspring than others, etc. Up until recently there really weren't that many genetic lines of wagyu in the US. Michifuku for example is in a lot of pedigress close up. To answer your question -- in my opinion -- not ALL wagyu cattle are hyper-marbling. Others may have a different opinion. I'm not sure how to respond to this other than that everyone needs to understand their own market. [/QUOTE]
