The analysis of variance indicated that calf (FC(CC)), SEX, birth year (BY), and birth season (P < 1 [] Angus cattle. 1 crosses.

Heterogeneity of distribution Brahman []Angus cattle should be treated as two calf code was significant for all traits and SEX was code was a significant effect for GG (P < .0001), FG different populations with respect to gain on grass, distribution among the [] Angus [] Brahman and [] Distribution of growth traits for [] Angus [] Brahman hics. feedlot average daily gains, and slaughter weights.
