Add to ORKGThere are significant differences in weaning weight per cow exposed to breeding among F1 cow breed groups. (See Characterization of Breeds Representing Diverse Biological Types: Reproduction and Maternal Performance of F1 Cows elsewhere in this report.) These differences are associated with variation among breeds in reproduction, milk production, and growth rate of progeny. Also, there are significant differences among F1 cows in mature weight. Heavier mature weight is associated with more rapid growth rate of progeny, and heavier weights increase output per cow from the production system when cows are sold. However, it also increases the nutrient requirements per cow for maintenance. Thus, it is important to quantify production inputs as...
