[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 78469, member: 968"] There are many different dna tests for different "parts" of tenderness. The American Simmental Assn. is the first breed "sheer force" testing carcass and using it to develop an EPD on tenderness. From the reports I have read, DNA testing for A tenderness gene really doesn't tell you very much - too many things factor into tenderness - including many different genes. Of course, it must not hurt to have "the right gene", just not real meaningful. Makes great PR to advertise a bull - and NO, I have not DNA tested Macho, and don't plan on doing it. Remember, only the ones with the "right gene" will advertise that they tested - did I or didn't I??? hmmmm [/QUOTE]
