Giraffe numbers grow exponentially when farmed, necessitating periodic culling to prevent exceeding the carrying capacity. This study quantified the effect of sex and muscle on the physical quality characteristics of eight giraffe muscles. The Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) was the only physical parameter to be affected by an interaction between sex and muscle (P
