[QUOTE="dph, post: 153561, member: 2112"] Cathy, no need to go to Jersey. In fact no need to go to Angus if you don't want to. Find a breeder, in what ever breed you decide on, that is testing his cattle genetically for tenderness genes. There are quite a few in quite a few breeds doing this. Normally they refer to the program as GeneStar. Find a bull that has the confimation you are looking for, and happens to carry some of the tenderness genes to boot, and breed it in. Just as important, find out what you can do from a management stand point to improve tenderness. If your cattle "top the sale," don't go messing with that to chase tenderness. No one is currently getting paid for it. Why hurt the 175 just to improve the tenderness of one steer you butcher? [/QUOTE]
