[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1704285, member: 16453"] I've been trying to find out why SAV cattle generally have a lower marbling EPD for some time and would appreciate it if you could throw a bit of light on it. My take is that they use a lot of older genetics with outdated numbers and don't really care about the numbers but the phenotype of their cattle is what they specialize in. In would love to see some real comparison of cattle on the rail. Would GAR cattle grade that much better than SAV? I dabble in a bit of SAV genetics to get the doability and feed efficiency in a cow and then go back to something that has higher marbling. I don't think people that buy a bull from me care much about marbling, they sell at weaning and want calving ease and then a big growthy calf at weaning. Ken [/QUOTE]
