Abstract:
The study reported here is part of a series within the CRC for Cattle and Beef Quality, designed to determine the best 'Regional Combinations' of genotype and growth rate to produce beef with high rates of compliance to market and quality specifications (live and carcass). This site is situated near Griffith (southern NSW), with others covering a wide range of environments throughout Australia. The studies will examine the effects (on production and meat quality) of different rates of growth of steers to feedlot entry weights, within different sire and breed types chosen on carcass traits.
