ABSTRACT. Thirty Holstein calves were assigned to the following treatments groups:T1=bulls (n=10); T2=cryptorchids (n=10) and T3=steers (n=10). All animals had an initial liveweight (LW) of 150±21 kg fed with the same diet based on an oversown pasture grazed at 5% of LW and at 2.5% LW+supplementation at 1% LW using entire corn grain (winter). Information of carcass yield and meat quality was recorded. Daily live weight gain presented differences amongst treatments, being T1=T2> T3 (P0.01).
