Abstract
Time-constant feedlot experiments were conducted in 1952–53 and 1956–57 with bison, Cattalo and Hereford bull and heifer calves at the Canada Range Experimental Farm, Manyberries, Alberta. The Cattalo made significantly greater feedlot gains than bison and lower gains than Herefords in both experiments. There was a significant reduction in carcass grade, a reduction in proportion of carcass weight in the hind quarters, and an increase in dressing percentage as the proportion of bison breeding increased.Keywords
