[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 720828, member: 13613"] According to the geneticist, IMF and Backfat are independant of each other - you can therefore breed for either (IMF or FAT) and not change the other. Select for possitive IMF and negative Fat. Rib eye is different, as rib eye increases IMF decreases. He said there are exceptions to the RE/IMF rule, just have to find the animal that is capable of increasing both at the same time. NOT easy. Select for RE and IMF that are very close to same EPD number. I haven't noticed much correlation between High RE and added muscling. Have you? Blessings Valerie Clavin [/QUOTE]
