Milking records from 1984-1989 were analysed to determine the influence of rearing method, sex of calf, season of birth, dam breed and year of birth on body weight at birth, 3, 6 and 12 months of age in Friesian x Bunaji crossbred calves. The mean weights of calves at birth, 3, 6 and 12 months of age were 22.0, 68.2, 96.7 and 127.4 kg, respectively. Sex of calf had a significant effect with male calves being heavier than the females by 1.2, 5.9 and 9.7kg at birth, 3 and 6 months of age respectively. The effect of season of birth on calf body weight was not significant except at 6 months of age when calves born during the wet season were heavier (P<0.01) than those born during the harmattan period by 9.5kg. Year of birth had a highly signifi...
