Abstract
Information is presented from which the carcass muscle yield as well as muscle yield from forequarter, hindquarter, tail and nine other carcass regions may be predicted for grey and red kangaroos of both sexes. Carcass muscle weights from grey and red kangaroos of the same body weight were found to be similar. Grey kangaroos were found to have a relatively greater proportion of their carcass muscle in the hindquarter, whereas red kangaroos were relatively heavier muscled in the forequarter and tail. Female kangaroos of both species were found to be relatively heavier muscled in the hindquarter, whereas males were relatively heavier muscled in the forequarter.
