[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 829614, member: 3235"] He is at the collection facility now. I should have some ready by the first part of June as he should clear all the tests by then. By mid July I hope he is home and has bred a bunch of cows by then. He hasn't been tested specifically for the Leptin gene. He has been Igentity profiled and he scored an 8 for marbling and a 7 for percent chice which is certainly on the high end for the Hereford tests I have seen. I visited a year or two ago with the Igentity rep about Leptin test and I think at one time they did test for it, but dont do it exclusively anymore. I got the impression that they beleive their new test is more accurate now but I have no idea if that is true or is just a marketing thing. It is quite possible that the leptin is part of their DNA analysis but I am unsure on that. [/QUOTE]
