We compare the meat yield in young bulls of Slovak Pied breed (S), Slovak Pinzgau breed (P), Braunvieh (B) and crosses of improved Pinzgau cattle (PxR) with the Piemontese meat breed (PPI). Young bulls of S breed achieved the highest live weight 588.44 kg at the end of the experiment, at average daily live weight gains 1392 kg. Young bulls of B breed weighed 538.91 kg at the end of the experiment, with live weight gains 1276 g. In group P the live weight at the end of the experiment was 498.13 kg and in group PPI it was 48946 kg, at live weight gains 1223 and 1218 g. We found the highest net energy of fattening per 1 kg gain in the groups P 20.38 and PPI 20.16 MJ. The highest net dressing percentage (64.04 %) was found in PPI crosses, insignificantly lower one in B (62.39), significantly lower one in S (61.24 Percent) P0.05, and highly significantly lower one in P (60.56 %) P0.01. The lowest fat deposition was found in PPI crosses.
