Genomic selection provides the opportunity of genetic improvement of difficult-to-measure traits, such as carcass and meat traits. This study investigated the accuracies of genomic predictions of carcass and meat quality traits in Hereford with an initial training population of 747 steers. Hot carcass weights, rib eye areas and subcutaneous, fat depths were recorded in commercial slaughterhouses, as well as, the left pistola cut weight and retail product. Shear force and intramuscular fat content were measured in the Longissumus dorsi.  aBeef cattle  aCarcass quality  aGenomic selection  aMeat quality  aPredictability1 aMACEDO, F.1 aLEMA, O.M.1 aLUZARDO, S.1 aAGUILAR, I.
