Previous work has suggested that dimensional data obtained from digital image analysis (DIA) has potential to predict the slaughter liveweights of finished beef cattle (Hyslop et al, 2008). Both farmers and cattle buyers may benefit from being able to select animals to meet slaughter specifications more accurately on-farm. The objective of the current study was to assess the feasibility of an on-farm DIA system to predict a number of characteristics in beef steers at slaughter.
