[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1518262, member: 27490"] Muscle volume is a function of the size and mass of the skeleton. It is not a direct relationship but it does correlate. Skeletal muscle is attacked to bone. Example: thigh muscle, it can only be as long as the thigh bone. If the thigh bone is long, the muscle can be longer. I must qualify that: a frame/bone can be large without the corresponding muscles being large. But conversely, if the frame is small, the size of the muscle is limited. Our county cattle association has had a meat expert (he has a PhD in animal science and teaches at the University of Kentucky) present twice at our annual meeting. He is scheduled for the third time this fall - that is how well his presentation has been received. In general - and I want to emphasis, the general - it takes bone and frame to support the muscle mass that is desirable. The objective is to have adequate frame/bone and make the proper breeding choices to fill that frame with muscle mass. [/QUOTE]
