Independent data sets were used to develop and validate prediction equations for weight at market finish (WM), days to market finish (DM) and feed intake to market finish (FM). Use of information currently collected at most bull test stations allowed accurate prediction of WM, DM and, to a lesser extent, FM. Regression coefficients were similar across the data sets used. Correlations of 0.89, 0.76 and 0.81, respectively, were found between predicted and actual values of WM, DM and FM. Key words: Beef cattle, constant finish, performance test information
