The objective of this work was to study the quantitative and qualitative carcass and meat characteristics of Charolais (C) and 3/4 C 1/4 Nellore (N) cull heifers. Twenty-five culled heifers, three years old, were feedlot finished per 80 days period. No significant difference was observed for slaughter weight (473.6 vs. 468.8 kg), cold carcass weight (241.8 vs. 241.8 kg), dressing percentage (51.09 vs. 51.61%), fat thickness (4.13 vs. 4.78 mm), forequarter percentage (35.52 vs. 36.01%), sidecut percentage (15.03 vs. 15.42%), […]
