Methods of improving quality of grass-fed beef

Hunt, Melvin C.; Kropf, Donald H.; Chen, V.; Harrison, A.; Corte, O.; Kuntapanit, C.; Smith, M.E.; Thomas, J.; Kastner, Curtis L.
Ten steers of known background, approximately 18 months old, and

wintered on alfalfa and protein were finished on a brome and bluestem

grazing program. Carcass characteristics were measured. The influence

of conditioning carcass halves at 55 F until eight hours post-mortem

was compared with conventional chilling at 36 F. Finally, the effects

of vacuum storage and display on beef quality were evaluated.
