[QUOTE="dph, post: 363316, member: 2112"] Novatech, I think if you visited Summitcrest's website and downloaded their 2007 catalog for either ranch it would show they way they are presenting it. They show the star results and then the GPD for each trait. I assume as more genes are used, all they are going to show is the GPD. What is interesting, is that on the quality grade side you can find bulls that might just have one star. After finding a couple that have one star, but for different genes, you can see that there is a difference in the QG GPD, this is what has had me conclude that not all genes are rated the same. I don't know why, but I didn't try it with the tenderness genes. Could be the tenderness genes aren't all equal either. That ranch is proud in testing all animals, and sometimes they feature new tests before others do. For instance, I think they were one of only 3 or 4 breeders using the 3rd Quality Grade test when it came out. I kind of think Bovigen has a ways to go to identify all the genes responsible for marbling, so I don't pay too much attention to it. [/QUOTE]
