Relationships Of Beef Cattle Temperament With Feedlot Performance, Jeffrey James Briscoe
Relationships Of Beef Cattle Temperament With Feedlot Performance, Jeffrey James Briscoe
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
This study determined relationships between beef cattle temperament and their feedlot performance. Thirty-five Angus cross-bred steers and heifers (18 steers and 17 heifers) were placed in the Utah State University feedlot to take part in the feed trial. Cattle temperament was measured by a chute score (CS, ranging from 1 = calm and not moving to 5 = rearing and violently struggling) and flight speed. Flight speed was measured by two observers to determine how long the animal took to travel 12 feet from the exit of the squeeze chute. Feedlot performance was assessed by body weight (BW) measurements, average …
