Ultrasound has been utilized extensively in beef cattle enterprises over the past decade, and is continuing to gain in popularity. The use of real-time ultrasound to accurately measure composition traits in live cattle is being used in the selection programs of an increasing number of cattle producers. It is being used as a selection trait in herd bulls and also as a trait in selecting replacement females to go back into the herd. This technology has the potential of improving the outlook of more cattle for carcass traits in a more-timely manner than existing progeny testing programs for carcass merit.
