[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 290399, member: 2705"] I am a huge fan of the idea of knowing what you have before you pass it on to the next generation. Ultrasound, epds, past progeny kill sheets, Genestar it all has its place. I look at genestar and see them as a company with a great idea but far from a silver bullet. Look at it Pragmatically, How many good carcass bulls don't score 2 on tenderness and marbling? Lots of them don't, that is just reafirming what we already knew, that marbling and tenderness are quanatative traits meaning that there are several genes that affect these traits. Your best bet would be to linebreed known well performing carcass cattle and do ultrasound work on them to tell who your next great prospect is. Genestar wants you to believe that this is the ultimate carcass test, its good to have but just the beginning. [/QUOTE]
