Since the announcement that mature cull cows can re-enter the human food chain, there is increasing interest from commercial producers in devising systems that finish suckler cows to an acceptable degree of fatness and conformation score. A detailed understanding of the relationships between cow liveweight (LW) and condition score (CS) is necessary if cows are to be grown and finished to achieve optimum carcass weights and marketed at optimum commercial returns. Previous work conducted over 20 years ago with traditional UK suckler cow types at that time, showed that for every one unit change in suckler cow CS the corresponding change in cow LW ranged from 61 – 110 kg with an average value of 95.6 kg (Wright and Russel, 1984) for cows that ranged in average LW from 434 – 560 kg. However, little information is available on the relationships between suckler cow LW and CS in suckler cow genotypes present in the UK today. The objective of this study was to estimate the relationship between suckler cow LW and CS in modern Aberdeen Angus cross (AAx) and Limousin cross (LIMx) suckler cows.
