dc.description.abstractCharolais-sired heifers and steers from Angus, Angus × Holstein-Friesian, Angus × Holstein-Friesian-Jersey and Angus × Jersey cows were measured for growth, carcass, and meat quality characteristics. Despite differences in weaning weight and growth rate, the progeny of different breed-crosses did not differ in final live weight or carcass weight (P > 0.05). Carcass and meat quality characteristics did not differ among breed-crosses (P > 0.05), except for fat that was more yellow in progeny from Angus and Angus-cross-Jersey dams. Steers were slaughtered older and had heavier carcasses with greater fat depth and intramuscular fat than heifers. Meat quality differed between the sex classes, with steers having greater pH and shear force, redder meat, and yellower fat than heifers. Angus-cross-dairy cows when crossed with a beef breed sire such as the Charolais will provide progeny for meat production which are competitive to beef breeds for beef finishing and meat production and therefore, a useful mechanism to utilize surplus animals from the dairy industry.
