Abstract
Objective measurements in cattle accounted for a significant percentage of the variation of hindquarter muscle weight after adjustment for weight of hindquarter and within the N.Z. export P grade. The conformation measurements on lamb accounted for only a small percentage of the variation of the weight of muscle and fat-free frozen carcass weight. Objective conformation measurements in cattle may be of use in a grading system unlike the conformation measurements taken in sheep.
