Steers (44 Aberdeen-Angus X Hereford (AH) and 43 Aberdeen-Angus X Hereford X Brahman (AHB)) on similar forage diets were randomly assigned according to breed-type during 2 years to a 70-day maize-based diet or a forage-based diet or a forage-based diet of Bermudagrass and ryegrass pastures. The steers were fed to an average slaughter weight of 482 kg, and live-animal performance, carcass characteristics, muscle quality and palatability of steaks were evaluated.
