[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 135502, member: 2095"] That SOUNDs good; but the customers of the seedstock guys is NOT the consumer; but rather the commercial cow/calf guys. And most of the commercial cow/calf guys sell by the pound, usually straight off the cow. Most don't want 1500++ pound cows to feed; but they still want the biggest payday they can get when they run those cows' calves through the yard. Until there is a way of identifying the tender calves in the ring (other than discounting the eared calves and the wild calves) there is no direct market reason to breed for tenderness. If your buying bulls you want a sound bull with the frame you desire with the biggest performance/EPD numbers you can get. Which bull is tender is not easily quantifiable and is not really relevant.
