[QUOTE="kcarr716, post: 1573771, member: 31594"] Right, but the question wasnt "why can't an animal have the most marbling and most muscle of any breed out there?" It seemed to be more along the line of "why does it seem in herds that select for for marbling muscle mass is sacrificed?" What I gave as an example was not intended to answer the first hypothetical question but to provide further insight on the quoted answer to the original question. Also, yes, carcass epds tend to be less accurate but the bull I mentioned is not exactly completely unproven with over 50% accuracy. Also, there are probably better examples of bulls combining the two traits out there, that was just one that came to mind that among the Angus breed I feel is very solid in both to show that while the traits do counter each other some it is not a yes or no thing [/QUOTE]
