Carcase and Cut-out

The Bazadais is a fine boned heavily muscled (but smooth) which provides exceptional yields as a pure and cross bred. Extreme length provides excellent rib muscling, and has maximum eye muscle area. Being smooth muscled, the fat lay down is even with marbling scores 1 and 2 with the added bonus of being able to finish off grass as well as grain. Bazadais have furthered their value in carcase competitions as listed in our results section.

Through comprehensive gene testing, GeneStar has determined the following:

• That Bazadais are equal and better for the marbling gene compared with other breeds (with the exception of the well-known extreme marbling of the Wagyu breed which, however, cannot compete on the basis of weight for age);
• The Bazadais breed has a clearly superior balance of feed efficiency with tenderness across all breeds; and
• This confirms to the producers and potential buyers that Bazadais genetics will not only improve turn-off weights in shorter intervals more economically, but also offer an improved meat quality of superior tenderness for the all-important consumer.
