[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1092631, member: 21715"] Igenity's Profile vs. Zoetis's GeneStar *********** They both do 'tenderness' ... 'feed efficiency' ... and ... 'marbling'. From there, Zoetis has a 'palatability index' test that combines tenderness with marbling ... and ... Igenity has a bunch of other things (temperament, maternal traits, etc.) that is added to theirs. I know there are a variety of +'s and -'s in putting significance in these numbers on a piece of paper ... but ... if you were going to do one test (and not both), which one would you do and why? Would it matter if you were running something a non-Angus-but-still-pretty-common breed (like Hereford, Charolais, etc.) or a not-very-common breed (like, say, Belted Galloway, Scottish Highlander, etc)? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
