Have you considered DNA testing for tenderness and marbling? Cost about $35 per

No I haven't, maybe that's something I should look into.

Here is a picture of some steaks we got back 2 months ago, from the last group, a T-bone and some tenderloins.

I tested two recently.

One came back a 7 and one came back a 4 on tenderness.

Just looking at the 7 you can tell it is superior.

Thanks HD, that could be helpful, alacowman, you have to give them what they want.

I haven't looked closely at the link you posted but thought I'd jump the gun and ask a few questions:

1. Should you test the steer or the steers mother (in my case I know some dna info on the sire).
2. Do you know the heritability of tenderness?
3. IS it blood sample? Hair?

Thanks!

2. Do you know the heritability of tenderness? No, but their customer service is top notch. Ask them
3. IS it blood sample? Hair? I did hair.

Thanks!
