Feedlot performance of Angus and Brahman x Angus steers during cold weather

Boyles, S.; Riley, Jack G.; Pope, Ronald V.
Straightbred Angus steers gained .21 lb/day faster than Brahman x Angus

steers during a 184-day winter feeding trial. Angus steers had a higher yield grade.

more fat thickness at 12th rib, and graded 90% Choice. Brahman x Angus steers

were 40 days younger at slaughter, had more carcass weight/day of age and larger

loin eyes, but only graded 10% choice. There was no difference in feed efficiency.
