We now offer ultrasound for carcass information.  The use of carcass information on replacement heifers as well as bulls will help improve the predictability of the end product .  This information should also be helpful in determining when and how we market our product.  
 

The above images were scanned from an 8 1/2 month old Charolais bull calf.

We currently have software that can calculate Ribeye Areas(REA), Backfat(BF) and % Intra Muscular Fat (IMF).  This software can be used to ultrasound cattle as early as weaning.  Early detection of these traits could save time and feed on lower quality cattle, which could increase the bottom line in any operation, purebred or commercial.
