Copper and zinc content of longissimus (LD) and semimembranosus (SM) muscle from concentrate‐fed steers raised at 549 or 2145m above sea level were compared. Data on younger range‐grazed steers raised at 2145m were also obtained. Copper and zinc content of muscles did not differ by altitude but copper and zinc in muscles from concentrate‐fed steers was greater than that from younger range‐grazed steers (P<0.05).
