Fifty-two Angus x Gelbvieh rotationally crossed virgin, ovariectomized, or single-calf heifers were slaughtered after 100 d on a high-concentrate diet. Heifers from each treatment were approximately 31, 33, or 35 mo of age, and they produced 31 A, 5 B, and 16 C maturity carcasses. Because of the small number, B maturity carcasses were not included in this study. Number of A maturity carcasses d...
