“…In a New Zealand study, Muir et al (2000) found that despite differences in size, conformation and fatness between Hereford, Friesian and Hereford cross Friesian steers, overall yield of saleable high value cuts (cube roll, striploin and tenderloin expressed as a percentage of total carcass weight) was similar between breeds when slaughtered at the same weight or level of maturity. Similar results were reported by Barton (1971Barton ( , 1972, Truscott et al (1976), Everitt et al (1980), Bass et al (1981), Nour et al (1981Nour et al ( , 1983b, Bertrand et al 1983, Patterson et al (1985, Stiffler et al (1985) and Butler-Hogg et al (1988). Branaman et al (1962) found no significant difference in the total percentage of rib, round and loin cuts in Holstein and Hereford steer carcasses.…”

“…Branaman et al (1962) slaughtered Holstein and Hereford steers at approximately the same age and found no significant difference in the percentage of separable lean. Bass et al (1981) found no differences in lean meat between dairy and British beef crosses when finished on pasture, but both were different to the heavy, late maturing European breeds (e.g. Charolais and Simmental).…”

“…It is clear that the results are also affected by the 'type' of dairy animal, as Kempster et al (1988) found as big a difference between Canadian Holstein and British Friesian cattle as between dairy and beef breeds in terms of carcass lean, lean to bone ratio, eye muscle area and the amount of lean in high priced cuts. Bass et al (1981) found that, whilst New Zealand Friesians tended to have a greater proportion of bone than Hereford or Angus animals, Jersey animals were similar to the beef animals. This suggests that the increasing Jersey influence in recent decades will mean the typical New Zealand dairy animal is now likely to be closer to a traditional beef animal in terms of the proportion of bone in the carcass.…”

Despite the heavy reliance of the New Zealand beef industry on animals produced from the dairy industry (predominantly Friesian and Friesian cross), there is a widespread belief that beef of dairy origin is inferior to beef produced from traditional 'British' breeds. This belief is not supported by the scientific literature. There is a large body of work that suggests there is no difference between dairy and traditional British beef breeds in growth potential, lean meat yield, yield of prime cuts, and the quality of meat produced when grazed under similar conditions and slaughtered at the same chronological age or the same level of maturity (fatness). The current New Zealand payment schedule based on carcass weight, fatness and muscularity, undervalues dairy carcasses for having a different pattern of fat distribution (i.e. less subcutaneous fat) and a different muscle shape (poorer conformation score). In New Zealand, the key commercial driver for using traditional beefbred cattle appears to be their ability to achieve the 3 mm minimum fat depth and therefore a prime-graded carcass at a lighter carcass weight and with a younger animal compared to dairy-bred cattle.

“…It is only quite recently that characteristics of carcasses of these breeds and crosses of these and other breeds have been reported by New Zealand workers (Campbell 1970;Hight et al 1973;Carter 1975;Bass et al 1981;Baker & Carter 1982). In contrast both breed and heterosis effects on carcass traits of steers and been reported in many North American studies (e.g., Cundiff 1970;Long 1980;Gregory et al 1982).…”

Breed and heterosis effects for growth and some carcass characteristics were estimated from purebred Angus (A x A), purebred Hereford (H x H), and crossbred (H x A and A x H) steers bred at the Waikite Land Development Block near Rotorua over a 4-year period. Data from 477 steers alive at 5-month weaning and 445 steers slaughtered at 20 monthsof-age were analysed. Age of dam and age of calf were significant non-genetic effects for all liveweights, 20-month carcass weight, and eye muscle area. The age of dam effect was not significant for average fat depth over the 12th rib of the carcass, but age of calf showed a significant effect.' At a constant slaughter age (618 days) steers by Hereford sires had a higher slaughter liveweight, carcass weight, and dressing-out percent than those by Angus sires. Steers out of Hereford cows relative to those from Angus cows were heavier at slaughter and had heavier carcasses but there was no significant effect of cow breed on other carcass traits. At a constant hot carcass weight (169 kg), eye muscle area was larger for steers sired by Angus bulls or out of Angus dams, with little effect of sire breed or dam breed on the other carcass traits. Comparison of purebred calves with the reciprocal crosses showed significant (P< 0.001) heterosis for empty liveweight before slaughter (8.4%), hot carcass weight (10.4070), dressing-out percent (1.9%), fat depth (26.5%), eye muscle area (6.1%), and export carcass grade ( -10.2%), when evaluated at a constant slaughter age. At a constant hot carcass weight, heterosis was significant (P< 0.05) for dressing-out percent (0.7%) and fat depth (13.7%). Paternal half-sib heritability estimates increased from 0.19 for 5-month weaning weight to 0.62 for 20-month empty liveweight and 0.60 for hot carcass weight. Heritabilities for carcass traits at a constant slaughter age were moderate to low: fat depth (0.26), dressing-out percent (0.23), export carcass grade (0.39), and eye muscle area (0). Genetic and phenotypic correlations among steer liveweights recorded from weaning to 20 months-of-age and hot carcass weight were high and positive (0.64-0.97). Phenotypic correlations of final liveweight with dressing-out percent, fat depth, and eye muscle area were all moderate to low and positive. Genetic correlations of fat depth with final liveweight or hot carcass weight were negative.

“…Cette inversion des effets d'hétérosis entre les deux périodes (9-15 et 15-18 mois) est plus élevée pour les croisés Charolais x Limousins qui présentaient avant 15 mois l'hétérosis spécifique le plus élevé. R ENAND , 1985) ou sur un troupeau de vaches allaitantes (B ASS et al, 1981 ;G REGORY et al, 1982 ;R AHNEFELD et C ll., 1983) les résultats concernant le poids en fin d'engraissement par jour d'âge se situent entre — 5 et -10 % pour l'écart entre les races Limousine et Charolaise avec une moyenne de — 7 %. Notre résultat est donc cohérent avec ce dernier chiffre, bien que plus faible si on admet qu'en croisement on n'obtient que la demi-différence des races pures.…”

small between 9 and 15 months (2.9 % between Limousin and Charolais, 6.5 % between Charolais and Maine-Anjou) but larger during the second fattening period. Then, the Limousin's advantage was 9 % over Charolais and 30 % over Maine-Anjou. During the two fattening periods, Hereford was close to Limousin for feed intake and to Maine-Anjou for feed efficiency. Between 9 and 15 months, heterosis effect was 3.3 % for growth rate and 1.5 % for feed efficiency. Heterosis in these two traits was negative after 15 months.
