Ardrossan Sires Genestar Results 2007
To confirm the selection of our genetic lines and ensure the productivity of our bulls’ carcase traits, we have just had Max Bowman, experienced Accredited Livestock Scanner, electronically scan our cattle for -
? Fat Cover – Rib & Rump
? Eye Muscle Area
? Intramuscle Fat
And GENETIC SOLUTIONS identify genetic contributions to these traits through their GeneSTAR technology.
Identified as GeneSTAR Marbling 3 and GeneSTAR Tenderness 4, results for Marbling range from 0 - 6 and Tendernessfrom 0 – 8.
Results are very promising and consist of the following:
