Performance to Weaning of Three-Breed Cross Calves Sired by Charolais and Limousin Bulls
Various two-breed cross cow groups were mated to Charolais and Limousin bulls to produce a total of574 three-breed cross calves over a two-year period. Average birth weights were 81.2 Ib and 76.2 Ib for calves produced from Charolais and Limousin sires, respectively. Calving assistance was required for 12.4 percent ofCharolais-sired calves and 4.0 percent of the Limousin-sired calves. Charolais...
متن کاملComparison of Feedlot Performance and Carcass Traits of Charolais and Brahman Sired Three-Breed Cross Calves
Feedlot performance and carcass traits were compared between Charolais and Brahman sired three-breed cross calves. Data were obtained on 251 calves (127 heifers and 124 steers). All calves were placed on a self-fed finishing ration immediately after wea,ning and slaughtered when each animal attained an estimated low choice carcass grade. Feedlot performance favored calves sired by Charolais. Ch...
متن کاملGrowth Patterns of Angus, Charolais, Charolais • Angus and Holstein X Angus Cows from Birth to Maturity 1'2'3
Growth patterns of 182 cows [73 Angus (AA), 31 Charotais (CC), 38 Charolais x Angus (CA) and 40 Holstein x Angus (FA)] were studied from birth to maturi ty. Breed type significantly affected weight and condition at all ages. Crossbred cows were heavier than AA and lighter in weight than CC cows (P<.01) at all periods. Differences between CA and FA cows were small. The CA cows were somewhat heav...
متن کاملGenetic relationships between calving and carcass traits for Charolais and Hereford cattle in Sweden.
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic correlations between calving difficulty score and carcass traits in Charolais and Hereford cattle, treating first and later parity calvings as different traits. Genetic correlations between birth weight and carcass traits were also estimated. Field data on 59,182 Charolais and 27,051 Hereford calvings, and carcass traits of 5,260 Charolais and...
متن کاملGrowth patterns of cows sired by British and Continental beef and American dairy bulls and out of Hereford dams.
Growth patterns from birth to maturity were compared for 92 straightbred Herefords (H) and 299 Hereford crossbred (XB) cows. Crossbred cows were out of Hereford dams and were sired by bulls of two British [Angus (A) and Shorthorn (Sh)], two Continental [Charolais (C) and Simmental (S)] and two American dairy breeds [Brown Swiss (B) and Holstein (F)]. British XB and H cows differed only slightly...
