| Summary: | Angus dam vs the effect of having a purebred Angus sire birth weight for steer calves was 36.71 0.44 kg which was Brahman sire and a crossbred dam vs a crossbred sire and a by the purebred Angus dams. Similar contrasts were conducted compared 3-4 Angus calves out of purebred sires vs those out comparison determined that the effect of having a purebred Effects of factors affecting birth weight and weaning weight estimate of .44 ︢.20. The birth weight heritability estimate existed between 1-4 Angus and 1-4 Brahman calves. A contrast for full-sib families was .41 ︢.12. Paternal half-sibs had a had a birth weight heritability estimate of .27 ︢.16. heavier at birth than those out of purebred Brahman dams. The indicating that 3-4 Brahman calves out of crossbred dams were kg. Three-quarter Angus calves were 18.04 + 4.32kg heavier Maternal half-sibs exhibited a birth weight heritability maternal halfsibs had a weaning weight heritability estimate matings from combinations using Brahman and Angus inheritance mean weaning weight for all 241 calves was 231.67 ︢2.19 of .34 .20 the weaning weight heritability estimate for full- of 3-4 Brahman x ;,4 Angus and 3-4 Angus x 14 Brahman embryo of purebred Brahman sire and a crossbred dam vs a cossbred of purebred dams (AB or BA x A vs A x AB or BA), this purebred dam was significant (p = .05). Paternal half-sibs resulted in a significantly (P = .005) heavier calf produced sib families was .27 ︢.12. significantly (p < .0001) heavier than the heifer's birth sire and a purebred Brahman dam was significant (P = .0001) than @4 Brahman calves (P = .0001). The effect of a purebred to detect any differences in 3-4 Brahman calves. The effect transfer calves were analyzed. Data used in this project was used to create 32 embryo transfer families. The mean weaning weight heritability estimate of .24 ︢.18. While weight of 33.55 ︢0.46 kg. No difference for birth weight were collected at the Angleton Research Station. Backcross |
