Table 5.
The phenotypic change (SE in parenthesis)* in total fat weight, total bone weight, and total meat weight 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 a covariate in the statistical model
