The experimental material comprised three groups of heifers obtained from 50–50 Black-and-White × Red Angus dams sired by three breeds of sires, Limousine, Red Angus, and Salers. Post-slaughter evaluation involved five heifers from each genotype group. The right-side half-carcasses were dissected for cuts.All the cuts were weighed and percentage composition of the carcass was established in relation to the cuts.Additionally, the five prime cuts were measured for weight and their percentage wight in the carcass was determined, as well as the area of the longissimus dorsi transect. The results of the dissection have shown that the weight of all the cuts and their percentage in the half-carcass, weight and percentage of five prime cuts in the carcass as well as the percentage composition of five prime cuts were very similar. Although the heifers obtained from the Limousine sires achieved slightly better results, the differences were non-significant.
