[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 216465, member: 1604"] Jeanne, The tenderness gene testing can only be a good thing for beef consumption as a whole, but until there is an incentive for producers to cull and select for tenderness it will get us nowhere very fast. The USDA grading system allows nothing for tenderness, only yield grades and quality grades are economically important carcass traits for beef producers at this time. In addition, there are so many variables in the DNA of the animals detected with the tenderness genes, the Genestar tests are only 6% accurate for detecting cattle that actually have tender meat. (According to Lisa Kriese-Andersen, Animal Science Professor at Auburn University, who is very studied in this field) [/QUOTE]
