[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1498483, member: 13350"] I agree with Ebenezer, and would advise caution in applying EPD's to performance on grass. Source genetics from programs that have been breeding for forage conversion, and not feedlot performance. I'm working on the assumption you are direct marketing your offspring on forage, which is why you are concerned with tenderness. Age of the animal is the most important correlations to tenderness, so a well devised, high energy forage chain is the key. [/QUOTE]
