Extract

Crossing of Friesian-Holstein dairy cows with beef breed bulls is widely practised. Recently the Italian Piemontese and Romagnola beef breeds have been imported into Ireland, but they have not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to compare the progeny of these breeds and Friesians for carcass traits. General productivity traits have been reported elsewhere (Keane, 2001).
