The relative growth and distribution of bone from 256 bovine carcasses were compared among three breed-types (British, up to 30% Charolais and 30-50% Charolais) and three \"sexes\" (heifers, steers and bulls) over a wide range in carcass weight.

Berg, R. T., Jones, S. D. M., Price, M. A.
The effects of breed-type, sex and age on the density of four bovine limb bones were studied. The density of the four limb bones increased significantly with age, but the effects of breed-type and sex were variable. The results are discussed with reference to the densiometric method of predicting...

The effects of dietary roughage level on the feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of bulls and steers

Mathison, G. W., Price, M. A., Berg, R. T.
An experiment is described comparing bulls and implanted steers fed diets containing three roughage levels (20, 50 and 80% alfalfa–brome hay) with two pens of four cattle in each ’sex’ × dietary roughage level subgroup. Cattle were about 12 mo old and 230kg at the start of the trial. Each animal...

Seventy-five young, full-fed, Shorthorn-sired cattle (36 heifers, 24 steers, 15 bulls) were slaughtered over a wide liveweight range (150-550 kg) to evaluate the influence of sex on the patterns of fat deposition.

The effect of winter weight loss in Hereford cows on calf birth weight and performance to weaning was examined over a period of 4 yr. The average winter weight loss of cows (60 + 36.2 kg mean += SD) over the period of this study had a significant effect (P < 0.001) on calf birth weight, but no...

Price, M. A., Richmond, R. J., Berg, R. T., Jones, S. D. M.
The growth and distribution of bone from 179 pig carcasses were compared among five breeds (Duroc x Yorkshire (DxY), Hampshire x Yorkshire (HxY), Yorkshire (YxY), Yorkshire x Lacombe-Yorkshire ffxl--Y) and Lacombe x Yorkshire (LxY)) and two sex-types (barrows and gilts) over a wide range in...

The growth and distribution of fat from 163 pig carcasses were compared among five breeds (Duroc × Yorkshire (D × Y), Hampshire × Yorkshire (H × Y), Yorkshire (Y × Y), Yorkshire × Lacombe-Yorkshire (Y × L-Y) and Lacombe × Yorkshire (L × Y)) and two sex-types (barrows and gilts) over a wide range...
