Twelve 5/8 Nellore 3/8 Charolais steers were used, with 22 months (660 days) of age. The animals were feedlot finished and divided into two categories: light animals – initial feedlot live weight (LW) of 362.67 kg and heavy animals – initial feedlot LW of 441.33 kg. The slaughter weight established was of 500 kg. The animals were fed a 60:40 ratio corn silage and concentrate diet.
