    The beef consumed worldwide comes from different categories of cattle slaughtered at different ages. The aim of this work was to study the effects of the cattle category (young bulls, heifers, cull cows) and slaughter age on carcase and meat traits, using data on 721 Charolais cattle. At 24h post-mortem in slaughterhouse, 14 carcase traits were measured on each carcase. Then, 2 ribs were collected and aged 14 days. Ten measurements were performed on raw meat (longissimus or rhomboideus muscles) and ten others on longissimus cooked meat. Our results showed that young bulls produced carcases with higher conformation scores, lower fat and meat that had less juiciness, and flavour intensity compared to heifers and cull cows. The carcase traits were more sensitive to variation in the slaughter age than in meat traits. Heifers and cull cows slaughtered at an older age produced heavier carcases. Cull cows slaughtered at above 6 years of age produced carcases with darker muscle and yellower fat. Slaughter age had no effect on the sensory descriptors of cooked meat from all three cattle categories. Heifers slaughtered at earlier than 32 months or later than 36 months produced carcases and meat with similar traits, except for the carcase weight. For cull cows over 6 years old, there was no effect of age at slaughter age on carcase and meat traits. Whatever the cattle category, the slaughter age impacted weakly the traits of raw and cooked meat. Meat from heifers was the most appreciated by trained panellists.HIGHLIGHTSCooked meat from heifers was better appreciated than cooked meat from young bulls or cull cows.In young bulls, slaughter age had no effect on any carcase and meat traits other than intermuscular fat assessed at the 6th rib.In cull cows, slaughter age affected mostly carcase traits and weakly meat traits.
