Mr.Grau,

In the above graph you see the pecentage breakdown of Charolais as tested per trait by number of total STARS. There are an 8 total possible for Feed Efficiency and Quality Grade and a total of 6 for Tenderness.

Your Charolais bulls are testing very high in comparison to all other Charolais cattle we have tested.  Your buss 5-F1 is in the top .76% of any Charolais cattle we have tested for our Quality Grade Genes.  That is not 76%, but .76%!!!  Another way of looking at it is that 5-F1 is better than 99.24% of all Charolais we have tested for GeneSTAR Quality Grade.

Also your bulls 7-J95 and 7-J41 are very valuable because they are both a 2 STAR or homozygous for Quality Grade marker 3.  These two bulls are the only Charolais I know of that are a 2 STAR for QG3.  This is the rarest of all our markers of any trait.  There are almost no animals other than Wagyu, that are a 2 STAR for QG3, let alone a 1 STAR.

So, you can make the statement that Grau Charolais are among the highest GeneSTAR Quality Grade scoring cattle in the United States.

This is just the beginning, so please take a look at these comments and also make some judgments for yourself.  Please call me any time you would like to discuss the results.  Also, let me know when you need logos and flyers for a website or other advertisements.  Just let me know and I can e-mail them.

Bovigen LLC is the only DNA testing company to be USDA Process Verified.  We are also theonly company with all tests being Independently Validated.

Also, please do not post the graph at the top.  The actual percentages are usually private.

Sincerely,
