Abstract excerpt
The objective of this research was to partition phenotypic variation in calf gain from birth to weaning, and milk production measured, by the weigh-suckle-weigh method, and udder score of cows into genetic and nongenetic components. Data were from the Line 1 Hereford population maintained by USDA-ARS at Miles City, MT, and included observations of pre-weaning gain (n = 6,835) from 2,172 dams, milk production (n =...
