Effects Of Restricting Intake On Carcass Traits Of Young Steers, R. H. Pritchard, D. H. Gee, M. R. Robbins
Effects Of Restricting Intake On Carcass Traits Of Young Steers, R. H. Pritchard, D. H. Gee, M. R. Robbins
South Dakota Beef Report, 1989
Feedlot performance and carcass characteristics were compared when steer calves were fed energy dense diets ad libitum (AL) or restricted (RI) to achieve constant growth rates. AL steers grew more rapidly (P.e.10) than RI steers, 2.93 vs 2.74 Ib per head per day. For the period from 98 days to slaughter (AL = 89 days, RI = 99 days), AL steers consumed more dry matter daily than Rl steers. Restricting intake did not affect feed conversions or total dry matter consumed while in the feedlot. Steers were slaughtered at similar final weights. Intake level did not affect carcass weight, rib …

Characterization Of Hereford And Two-Breed Rotational Crosses Of Hereford With Angus And Simmental Cattle: Carcass Traits Of Steers, D.M. Marshall, M. D. Monfore, W. J. Costello, C. A. Dinkel
South Dakota Beef Report, 1989
Calf carcass traits were evaluated for Simmental (S) x Hereford (H) and Angus (A) x H cross cows in two-breed rotations and for straightbred H. Data were grouped into seven dam breed categories: straightbred Hereford (H), F1 S x H cows (SH), S x H cows of low percentage H (SHS), S x H cows of high percentage H (HSH), F1 A x H cows (AH), A x H cows of low percentage H (AHA) and A x H cows of high percentage H (HAH). Straightbred H and crossbred SH, AH, SHS and AHA cows were mated to H bulls, …
