[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 362554, member: 3333"] The below breed comparison chart was done when there was only two tenderness factors proven. Now there are three—another calpain factor has been verified. The company, Bovigen, will not issue another up-dated breed comparison chart. It is likely that the decision to eliminate breed comparisons was due to the poor showing of the Hereford breed in this comparison. I.E. it would be bad for their business to continue to publish such charts. I have been informed, however, that the percentage rates with the third factor do not deviate fromthe first calpain result. They only included breeds that had over 100 animals tested; I'm sorry to say that the Pinzguaer breed did not have enough to be included.Maybe they would be included today--but the company will not publish an up-dated chart: [img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a400/beavercreekfarms/DNA_Chart012.jpg[/img] In my view you are absolutely correct in saying that marbling has been deliberately promoted as tenderness when in fact it is not.
