Abstract
Relationships among the weights of the wholesale cuts, live weight, and slaughter grade were studied from data secured from 50 steers and their carcasses. Zero order correlations as well as first order partial correlations removing the effects due to variation in live weight and second order partial correlations removing effects due to variations in live weight and slaughter grade were presented. Little effect was produced on the correlations between live weight and wholesale cuts because of the involvement of a whole-part relationship. The slight effect of slaughter grade on the size of correlations between cuts was probably due to the relatively small amount of variation in grade. A number of cuts were found to be statistically significantly correlated, among them some structurally independent cuts. For most of the latter, the first order partial correlations were in the range of 0.35 to 0.45 while the round and arm chuck were correlated to the extent of 0.69.
