^*Model included fat thickness and carcass weight as fixed effects.

^†A × B was progeny of Angus bull × commercial Angus-influenced cow; A × J was progeny of Angus bull × Jersey cow; A × H was progeny of Angus bull × Holstein cow; H was straightbred Holstein.

^‡The heifer adjustment added to the presented treatment means estimated the magnitude of each dependent variable that would be observed for heifers; this is only applicable to the Angus-sired cattle and not the straightbred Holstein cattle.
