Biological type effects on gestation length, calving traits and calf growth rate.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 1990

Reynolds W L, Urick J J, Knapp B W

Abstract excerpt

Gestation length, birth weight calving difficulty, calf mortality rate at birth, calf mortality rate from birth to weaning, preweaning calf growth rate and calf 200-d weight were evaluated in a biological type study in which four sire breeds were bred by AI to Hereford dams. Angus and Red Poll sires represented breeds of medium size, and Pinzgauer and Simmental sires represented large breeds. Angus and Pinzgauer...
