| Summary: | (Commercial Finewool, Suffolk X Commercial Finewool first (external, seam, and internal). Yield grade class was Additional live and carcass measurements revealed significant All carcasses were evaluated for USDA quality and yield grade and pelvic fat (KP) was removed from the rough leg and rough breed type were assigned randomly to one of five yield grade by a team of three experienced livestock evaluators. They characteristics by trained carcass evaluators at 48 h characteristics were recorded. Carcasses were fabricated correlations with these weights and percentages. Regression cross (Fl cross) and Suffolk) to represent the current market determined that an individual lamb had reached its assigned equations offered higher predictive values when estimating fat thickness. Before slaughter, certain linear measurements feed and live weight increased, yield grade class, along with Feeder lambs (n=90) were selected from three breed types Humane Methods of Slaughter Act, when the evaluators had into a rough leg, rough loin, rough rack, rough shoulder, into closely trimmed retail cuts, lean trim, bone, and fat into left and right sides, and the leg, loin, rack, and loin following breaking. The rough primals were then split neck, right and left breasts, right and left plates. Kidney postmortem. Additional carcass measurements and product and to the percentage of trimmable components. shoulder from the left side of the carcass were fabricated significantly related to the weight and percentage of retail supply in Texas. Three wethers and three ewes from each The lambs were evaluated periodically and visually appraised thickness ranges designated by the USDA yield grade equation. treatment groups (n=18), devised to simulate the fat weight and percentage of trimmable fat, also increased. weight rather than percentage of retail product. As days on were obtained for each lamb, and live weights were recorded. were slaughtered at staggered intervals, according to the |
