[QUOTE="2centsworth, post: 80696, member: 1185"] I guess the problem I see with the tenderness "gene" test and EPD is that tenderness is not just the result of one gene. Tenderness is a quantitative trait, and so one gene has very little effect on the overall expression of the trait. Basing culling practices off of the results of a one-gene test or EPD seems to me to be a bit radical and potentially dangerous. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
