	abstract = {Alternative methods of using an ultrasonic backfat probe on sheep were compared in 2 experiments involving 60 rams. In both experiments, ultrasonic backfat measurements made on the side of the sheep opposite to the location of the operator and the second of 2 measurements had a higher correlation with carcass fat measurement C and were better predictors of percentage carcass fat than measurements taken on either the same side of the sheep as the operator or the first 2 measurements. We conclude that different ultrasound backfat measurements vary in their value in predicting carcass fatness and individual operators should establish the most appropriate measurement.},
