[QUOTE="Matt Schiel, post: 141064, member: 81"] Yes, to your question. They are using ultrasound and DNA to see what lines have good carcass quality in them. Like any breed their are bad ones and good ones. I know the Brahman assoc. has been pushing more breeders to fed out calves and get that carcass data. The last time I know LSU was working with them on shear force test and some carass e.p.d's. I would say the Santa Gertrudis breed has been in the forefront in doing DNA testing for tenderness and quality grade. For what I know and been told is that the tenderness test is better than the quality test for Brahman influence cattle. Matt [/QUOTE]
