Warner-Bratzler Shear Standards

A committee was formed in April, 1994 at the request of the National Cattlemen's Association to develop standards for Warner-Bratzler Shear force determinations for institutions performing genetic evaluations of beef tenderness. The standards are available here as either regular hypertext or as an Adobe Acrobat PDF.
