Ralph, Stress will make meat tough. I can't recall the type of hormone their body produces when stressed, but too much stress, especially during penning, transport(short is better), at the slaughterhouse right before being killed, can make meat tough.

I also heard that sprinklers dispersing water while in rest will calm them down, too. Dunno the kind of facility you took them to but that's what I have heard. Also, is the meat aged properly?? Aging will make meat a bit more tender, too. The "other" Ralph in OK.
