Tenderness Without Fat

studies with sheep and beef cattle that ten
derness in meat is heritable quality But
there is very little understanding of the
character that makes for tenderness and
desirable flavor in beef or other meat.
Recent studies have shown that there is
no direct relation between tenderness in
meat and outside fat. This will surprise most
cattle feeders and meat connoisseurs be-
cause it has been generally understood that
a steak must have lots of outside fat to be
really tender. There is, however, some cor
relation between tenderness and marbling,
or intramuscular fat But there is virtually
no reliable information as to the relation
ship between tenderness and flavor in beef,
and the particles of fat within the cells.
There is urgent need for a better under
standing of the problems involved in breed

NOW THAT CONSUMERS are showing
a decided preference for meat that is tender
and tasty but not overly fat, livestock re-
search specialists have an important new
job confronting them.
The question they are trying to answer
is whether it is possible to produce beef,
and other meat, that will have enough in
tramuscular fat to make appetizing, high
quality cuts without the waste fat on the
surface and in the abdomen that is present
on today's prime animals. And a related
question is whether this can be done while
at the same time increasing the use of pas
ture and forage roughage in the feed.
Scientists have comparatively little in
formation to serve as a background for their
studies. 1t is true that there is some evi-
dence from research with rabbits and other

ipa1 and industrial water supply develop
ments and stream flow regulations.
Another improvement in the law lies in
the elimination of considerable amount of
red tape which was required in reviewing
applications in the past.
Local organizations can now borrow up
to $5,O0OO0O, repayable over so years at
low interest rates on approved projects. The
local groups will bear a share of the con-
Struction cost of work connected with irriga-
ton, drainage and other agricultural water
management projects.
Construction costs for flood prevention
in watershed projects will be borne entirely
by the federal government.
