[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 771046, member: 13613"] [url=http://www.cabpartners.com/bestpractices/2-Genetic_Selection.pdf]http://www.cabpartners.com/bestpractice ... ection.pdf[/url] I can assume that this will help with your question. I was told to use bulls with + IMF, +RE and - FAT EPD's ( all while keeping an eye on the other traits as well) If you mate so that animals IMF and RE are close to the same number you can raise them equally, otherwise, as you raise one the other is negatively affected. Butcher was at our farm for 2 steers that were within a few days age. Butcher stated one was much more tender than the other and he assumed there was a large difference in age. Nope, very close in age, I assume he simply had the dna for tenderness higher than his 1/2 brother. Their ultrasound was similiar as well for IMF, RE and fat. Valerie [/QUOTE]
