[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 112231, member: 13"] Something not mentioned: Double muscled cattle have all the traits that Mike mentions, but the study doesn't mention that they don't marble. The commercial meat industry is based on USDA quality grades as well as yield grades. More marbling means higher quality grade means higher value. Consumers pay more for marbled beef, retailers pay more for marbled beef, and packers pay more for marbled beef, feedlots pay more for animals they think will marble. Packers discount cattle that grade Select, compared to Choice (quality grades). They also discount YG 4 cattle. They pay premiums for cattle that grade Choice+ and YG 1-2. Balanced cattle work best.
