Small Tender Steaks Drive Alberta Cattle Research
Agriculture Canada researchers at Onefour near Manyberries pursue crossbreeding to produce evenly sized T-bones with marbling while preserving genetic strength and yield. The project runs to 2003 and relies on a 500 head composite herd including Charolais Simmental Limousin Hereford Angus and shorthorn. Researchers aim to translate tenderness traits into breeding while accounting for cooking, cut thickness and time factors. Collaborators include the Canadian Cattlemen's Association Alberta Cattle Commission Cargill IBP Safeway and IGA with ongoing funding appeals.
