[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 64973, member: 968"] Actually, Simmental was the first breed to come up with tenderness EPD's, created by Cornell Univ. I read an article that producers should be careful about using gene test results on individual animals for criteria for choosing animals. EPD's are much more reliable tools than individual tests, because there is a lot more to the meat being tender than one genome. Our EPD's are based on a tenderness gene AND the shear force test. I'm not sure of all the details. [/QUOTE]
