GeneSTAR is a DNA test for markers associated with marbling score and tenderness in the carcase. GeneSTAR gives a star rating result for these two traits. On average, an animal with more stars for marbling should have a higher marbling score than an animal with a low star rating for GeneSTAR. An animal with higher stars for tenderness will be more tender than an animal with a low tenderness star rating. GeneSTAR currently tests for 3 marbling markers (with a scale of 0-6 stars) and four tenderness markers (with a scale of 0-8 stars).

Bazadaise  beef for centuries  has been famed for its delicate,        t e n d e r, marbled meat,achieving in France the coveted       “Label Rouge” (Red Label) .
