Abstract

Objective:

The objective of this study was to determine if cattle could be sorted and performance could be predicted by nose color (Pink or Black) when carcass traits and body weight were evaluated at a common endpoint in Charolais x British crossbred beef steers. Pink nosed cattle were assumed to be progeny of Red Angus dams and black nosed cattle were assumed to be progeny of Black Angus dams.
