[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 776778, member: 8677"] I raise a linebred line of polled Herefords. I have seen some variation in the tenderness scores. This year's bulls calves ranged from 1 to 9 on the Igenity scale. I have home butchered a perfect score on tenderness and a 1 and I believe there is a difference. The 1 was still good, but not near as tender on certain cuts. I will be selecting to cull out the low scores and increase use of the high scoring individuals. I have also been using Igenity parentage testing where I have used multiple sires in a pasture. I think there is some potential in using multiple sires because it will allow me to use more bulls to lower my inbreeding coefficients and just to sample more yearling bulls through natural service.
