For the purpose of the investigation of factors important for slaughter yield results, a trial with three groups of young cattle of Domestic Simmental breed of different body masses was carried out. Young cattle in the first group (G1) had average body mass of 509.00 kg, in the second group (G2) of young cattle average body mass of 554.29 kg was recorded, and in the third group of young cattle 591.13 kg. Subsequent of slaughtering warm carcass sides were measured individually, with and without kidney fat, mass of internal organs was measured and mass of other secondary slaughter products. After cooling carcass sides were cut into main parts. Young cattle of group G2 realized higher carcass yield with and without fat. Share of kidney fat in the mass prior to slaughtering was the lowest in the group G1. Share of internal organs and secondary slaughtering products was practically the same in all three groups of young cattle. Share of leg/round was statistically significantly higher in group G3 compared to group G1. Share of carcass parts of category 2 and category 3 was almost the same in all three groups of young cattle. Share of beef steak was the highest in group G1.
