Summary

The effect on palatability of crossing Angus with other beef breeds has been studied. Purebred Angus and Jersey × Angus crosses were significantly more tender and of a higher general acceptability than the Simmental × Angus and Limousin × Angus crosses. The possible cause of tenderness differences amongst the cross-breeds is discussed.
