¹Abbreviations: HYA, high yielding A, HYB, high yielding B; SYA, standard yielding A, SYB, standard yielding B.

²Cranial region- Measurement taken in the top 1/3 of the Pectoralis major.

³Meullenet-Owens Razor Shear (MORS) F = force; E = energy; PC = peak counts.

^a-bMeans without a common superscript were determined to be significantly different (P < 0.05) by a Tukey's HSD test.
