[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1363688, member: 21715"] You bet. And, I'm all for learning too -- if I'm wrong about this, I'd love to learn, change my stance and be right! :) It was always my understanding that 'double muscling' occurs in one of two forms: * Twice as many muscle fibers as typical cattle, all are long and narrow diameter (and therefore more tender). This type has no calving problems due to the tendency to be well muscled. * Same number of muscle fibers as typical cattle, all are shorter and thicker in diameter (and therefore tougher). These cattle tend to have real issues with calving ease. So, I guess, if research shows that Piedmontese cattle don't have extra muscle fibers (to explain for their phenotype), I'd love to learn how they achieve the look they have and are tender beef. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
