Extract

1. Of various objective measurements carried out on six carcasses from each of the three Australian grades 1, 2 and Canner, the minimum depth of fat above the eye muscle at the quartering point distinguished the grades to the most significant extent, as would have been anticipated from the importance of finish in visual grading.

2. The iodine numbers of fat from the tissues of the steers examined were lower than those which would have been expected in English steers at a similar level of fatness.
