Table 6.
The phenotypic change (SE in parenthesis) in total hindquarter weight, total forequarter weight, and total fat weight (kg) 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 or 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
