Mature size records collected on Angus cows of 5 to 12 yr of age were used to estimate heritabilities, genetic correlations, and EPD for mature weight and mature height. A total of 256 sires were evaluated using mature size data collected on 2,732 daughters. Data were analyzed using REML procedur...
