[QUOTE="andybob, post: 454465, member: 2703"] The company farm has increased the cattle herd this summer,as there is plenty of hay off the fields irrigated with pig effluent. Investments in recent years into the cattle industry are increasing, but so are the investments in their Bazilian beef interests,setting up an import link which will give acess to local markets through the locally owned packing houses, giving an even greater controll over priced and supplies. We have the choice of breeds known to have the beef quality and tenderness for us to be able to choose which breeds and crosses will perform in our environments, to supply the end product demanded by the consumer, just one example of the type of comparative research done in recent years; Ribeye Area Breed IN2 IN2/WT Angus 13.1 / 0.0203 Sen X 12.9 /0.0200 Tuli X 13.5 /0.0215 Bra X 13.6 / 0.0185 Tuli had more ribeye/pound of carcass when expressed on a per unit of weight basis. Meat Quality Breed Marbling % Ch Shear Angus 5.5 / 82.1 / 11.8 Tuli X 5.3 / 67.4 / 13.5 Bra X 4.8 / 28.5 / 17.6 The Shear score indicate that Tuli meat requires less force to penetrate,which translates to more tender meat. Marbling Score Breed 4.0=Ch Angus 3.95 Sen X 3.97 Tuli X 3.97 Bra X 3.79 Slaughter done at IBP in Amarillo. Tuli scored much higher than Brahman and edged out Angus. Taste Panel Breed Tender Juici. Flavour Angus 5.0 / 5.2 / 4.6 Tuli X 5.0 / 5.3 / 4.6 Bra X 4.1 / 4.8 / 4.4 Tests included both Tuli and Brahman crossed to both Angus and Hereford. Tuli scored highest surpassing Angus. These comparisons of heat resistant breeds, using the Angus as the benchmark were conducted as unbiased research before either the Tuli or Senepol were available to the commercial cattleman. Similar comparisons are available for other breeds with good marbling and shear force measurements, there are plenty of breeds available for use in commercial crossbreeding programs. [/QUOTE]
