Marbling is most definitely the number one trait we breed for. Carcass, growth etc. are also right up there. But docility is incredibly important to us. We want nice, happy cows, who don’t get stressed (and therefore stress the other cows).
We are confident that the best steaks come from relaxed animals, but our desire for docility is well beyond simply the eating quality, We genuinely want our animals to be relaxed and enjoying life on Lake Farm. The more docile the animal, the better chance we have of achieving this goal.
