Description
The objective of this study was to compare the average daily gains (ADGs) of beef cattle under management intensive grazing in paddocks with one-day and six-day periods of stay and to assess yellow fat on carcasses of cattle finished on pasture. The ADGs over the season were higher under the one-day than the six-day period of stay in 1994, but in 1995, the opposite trend was evident although the differences were not significant. In 1995, none of the 32 cattle tested were downgraded for the presence of yellow fat.
