Key Points

This research aimed to evaluate the performance of native and improved cattle breeds on different grazing types.
Conducted three experiments over three years
Assessed performance of Welsh Black and Charalois-cross cattle
Compared grazing on improved permanent pasture and semi-natural rough grazing
Liveweight gain was significantly affected by both genotype and pasture type
Welsh Black steers exhibited higher growth rates compared to Charalois-cross steers
