    Quality and yield characteristics of 38 crossbred steer carcasses were evaluated to measure the effects of four nutritional regimes: grass-fed -- winter growing ration (2.18 Mcal ME/kg), followed by summer grazing; ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of different cattle types
    Dikeman, M.E.; Loveday, H.D.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Different cattle types were evaluated for growth, feed efficiency, and carcass and meat traits. Hereford (H), Angus (A), Red Poll (RP), Brown Swiss (BS), Gelbvieh (G), Maine Anjou (MA) and Chianina sires were mated ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of different cattle types
    Dikeman, M.E.; May, M.L.; Lipsey, R.J.; Loveday, H.D.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
    Different cattle types were evaluated for growth, feed efficiency, and carcass and meat traits. Hereford, Angus, Jersey, South Devon, Limousin, Simmental, and Charolais sires were bred artificially to Angus and Hereford ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of different cattle types—A preliminary report
    Dikeman, M.E.; Tuma, H.J.; Allen, D.M.; May, M.L.; Albrecht, M.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1972)
    This report contains results from the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center Cattle Germ Plasm Evaluation Program. Dr. Keith Gregory and Dr. Hudson Glimp, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, Nebraska, initiated and ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of different cattles types—A preliminary report
    Dikeman, M.E.; Tuma, H.J.; Allen, D.M.; May, M.L.; Albrecht, M.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
    This report contains results from the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center Cattle Germ Plasm Evaluation Program. Dr. Keith Gregory and Dr. Hudson Glimp, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, Nebraska, initiated and ...
  • Performance and carcass traits of feeder calves scored for muscling, frame size, and condition
    Dikeman, M.E.; Allen, D.M.; Kemp, K.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    Calves with different USDA frame sizes had similar carcass composition and quality when slaughtered within the recommended weight range for their frame size. Large-framed calves had higher dressing percentages and ...
  • Reliability of U.S.D.A. beef carcass yield grades in reflecting differences in retail yields
    Dikeman, M.E.; Lipsey, R.J.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
