[QUOTE="Jake, post: 267763, member: 4"] I just wanted to throw something in here on the backside. IMO alot of the marbling issues we're seeing is from cattle being harvested too young. Most cattle are butchered at between 12-1300, if you look at the mature average mature cow size of most registered and commercial herds your going to find most cows mature at around 15-1600. These cattle have so much size bred into them that they are maturing at a different rate than the cattle of the mid to late 80s that matured at 1200-1400. These cattle really need to be waited out to allow them to marble to their full capability. [/QUOTE]
