| Summary: | (P<.05) were found for the final weight on grass, carcass (P<.05) were found for the following traits: initial weight, 1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Brahman were placed on native pasture for 13.3% unacceptable. The 1/2 Beefmaster had a 33.3% tender, 28.5% acceptable, and 38% unacceptable. The control group amount of connective tissue, overall favor intensity and an average of 67 days and in a wheat pasture for 88 days and average daily gain on grass, average daily gain on feed, Beefmaster group had a 56.6% tender, 30.0% acceptable, and Beefmaster group; 19.0, 71.4, and 9.5% for the 1/2 Beefmaster Beefmaster steers, thirty-eight 3/4 Beefmaster steers, carcass, or sensory traits evaluated. differences (P>.05) were found for juiciness, muscle and differences (P>.05) were found for: final weight on grass, different breed groups was as follows- Purebred steers 40% distribution for the quality grade categories (Choice, fat, ribeye area, and yield grade. No significant fiber tenderness, overall tenderness, connective tissue, final weight on grass, average daily gain on grass , final Forty three purebred Four different breed groups were utilized in this test. grass, feedlot final weight, carcass weight, actual fat, group; and 50.0, 50.0, and 0 % for the control group.
