Abstract:	Implications Carcase trait EBVs produced from national abattoir data, for traits of direct economic importance to commercial breeders, will enable the beef industry to increase the rates of genetic improvement for carcase traits. Furthermore it will help to link the different sectors of the beef industry as they will all be using the same trait definitions from breeder to finisher to abattoir.
