Abstract

An examination of measurements of 950 carcases entered in fresh and cured pig carcase competitions conducted in Queensland, and judged by the Hammond system, was made. In the sections body length, eye muscle thickness and leg length, the Hammond standards favoured certain weight ranges. No bias was shown for the character backfat thickness. No overall bias was shown by a comparison of total marks and weight range. Mean values for various measurements of fresh and cured carcases are compared.
