Table 4.
The phenotypic change (SE in parenthesis)* in low value cut weights (LVC), medium value cut weights (MVC), high value cut weights (HVC), and very high value cut weights (VHVC) per unit change in terminal index, carcass conformation estimated breeding value (EBV; Cconf EBV), carcass fat EBV (Cfat EBV), and carcass weight EBV (Carcwt EBV) for all animals, just dairy-herd animals, and just beef-herd animals as well as for young bulls (YB) and steers (S) when carcass weight was included as covariate in the statistical model
