[QUOTE="dun, post: 19673, member: 34"] There are so many variables that go into both marbeling and tenderness when the carcass hangs on the rail that all of these wonderful tests may be able to predict to potential but in no way can they detrimine the final result. Some reposrts in dicate that an agressive implant program affects marbeling, highheaded animals no matter if it's genetics or handling, illness, etc all affect the final result. We've never worried about the dna for the traits, what we are concerned about it the facts as to the eating qualities. Properly fed I would think that marbeling can be developed in any of the breeds that generally marble, tenderness is probably affected the same way. I have yet to see any actual data that quantifies the difference between these genes and an animal without them and the actual eating experience. In some ways I classify this stuff the same as the "science" of facial whorls and there prediction of disposition. In some ways it's like a fiend of mine told me that in vetschool they instructor told him that half of what they were being taught was wrong. The problem was they didn't know which half. dun [/QUOTE]
