[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 604469, member: 13"] Yes, it's genetics. But an animal can't express their genetic potential without proper nutrtion. Identical bulls may both mature at the same weight and the same ribeye, but one that gets the best nurtition will reach his genetic potential quicker than the other. And marbling starts at an early age. Even if an animal has the genetic potential to be high marbling, if he doesn't have the feed to lay down the fat, he won't marble. That doesn't change his genetics. If he has the genetics to marble but isn't fed to express that potential, he can still produce calves that will marble if they're well managed. [/QUOTE]
