  • Beef empire carcass merit days index system
    Powell, T.H.; Unruh, J.A.; Dikeman, M.E.; Laudert, S.D.; Lee, R.W.; Seibert, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    Kansas State University, in cooperation with the Beef Empire Days committee, developed a new beef carcass index system for 1991, incorporating yield and quality traits as indicators of carcass merit. Development of the ...
  • A comparison of beef flavor intensity among major muscles
    Carmack, C.F.; Kastner, C.L.; Dikeman, M.E.; Schwenke, J.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    Twelve muscles from eight Select/Choice grade steers were evaluated for beef flavor intensity, tenderness, and juiciness. Sample steaks were cut, and evaluation was performed by a five-member professional panel. ...
  • Comparison of feeding calves vs. yearlings
    Hickok, D.T.; Schalles, R.R.; Dikeman, M.E.; Franke, D.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    Data from the 207 crossbred steers used in this study indicate that when calves are placed in the feedlot on a finishing ration at weaning, they will have better feed efficiencies, greater lifetime ADGs, lighter carcass ...
  • Comparison of feedlot and carcass characteristics of Angus, Hereford, Brahman, Charolais, and Gelbvieh crossbred steers
    Hickok, D.T.; Schalles, R.R.; Dikeman, M.E.; Franke, D.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    Feedlot performance of 207 steers with various percentages of Angus, Hereford, Charolais, Brahman, and Gelbvieh breeding were compared at a constant 1) days fed, 2) adjusted carcass backfat, and 3) slaughter weight. ...
  • Effects of estradiol or an estradiol-trenbolone acetate reimplant scheme and time on feed on performance and carcass traits of finishing steers
    Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Dikeman, M.E.; Stroda, S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    Two hundred eighty-eight predominantly British and British crossbred steers (702 lb) were used in a 2×3 factorially arranged experiment. Main effect factors were reimplant scheme [estradiol (E2) vs estradiol plus trenbolone ...
  • Heritabilities and genetic correlations of ultrasound-measured ribeye area with other performance traits in Brangus cattle
    Johnson, M.Z.; Schalles, R.R.; Dikeman, M.E.; Olson, W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    Heritabilities and genetic correlations for ultrasound-measured ribeye area and fat thickness, as well as growth traits and scrotal circumference, were determined using performance records of 1613 Brangus calves ...
