【 摘 要 】

Sixteen carcasses of Holstein steers raised in feed lot from six to twenty four months, where used to test measurements of the carcass, trought simple linear regression equation, as predictors of hinquarter cuts weight. The independent variables were conformation, carcass length, leg length while the dependent variables were weight of hindquarter cuts. From the results obtained, one may conclude that conformation was a good predictor only for eye round; the carcass length was a good predictor for knuckie, stripling and eye round; leg length only estimated rump cover weight.
