I'm curious to know if anyone has experience identifying grass sires using ultrasound data. Some interesting conversation came about at our bull sale on Saturday, and opinions varied greatly. One fella was of the opinion that if a bull has a really high marbling score and alot of backfat, he's obviously going to be an animal that can finish and grade well on grass. Another was of the opinion that if they truly are a grass animal, they should have lower backfat, and higher marbling.

Any thoughts and opinions? I realize of course that we must keep lean meat yield in our sights, as well as Ribeye per cwt.
