Results of 14 intact cattle, with first dentition, were analyzed distinguishing the effects of Nellore and F1 Nellore x Holstein genetic groups in completely randomized blocks. The animals had the feeding system in a pasture of Brachiaria decumbens with 300 and 369.42 kg of initial and final weigh, respectively. The results shown greater thigh length to Nellore group (P<0.05). However the groups were similars (P>0.05) to live weight, cold and hot carcass weight, cold and hot dressing rendiment, break in cold, carcass length, arm perimeter, cushion thickness, fat thickness (FT), longissumus muscle area. Likely, the values to hindquarter, side and forequarter cuts in relation to cold and hot weight were equals (P>0.05). The concerns of the work are that the Nellore cattle are taller than F1 Nellore x Holstein and that this last group can be used to meat production, once the appraised are appropriated. Keys-words: Carcass, crossing, cuts, cushion, yield.
