A note on estimates of the repeatability of weaning weight in beef cattle
Profitable beef production in stickler herds depends upon each cow within the herd producing a heavy, well-grown calf every year. The weight of the weaned calf has a large effect on the producer's income. The pedigree beef breeder therefore needs to select female lines within his herd which produce calves above the herd average weight at weaning.
