Factors affecting calving date and its relationship with production traits of Hereford dams
Calving date (CD) records of 68896 polled Hereford dams of 120 682 calves were coded within herd-year-season with date 1 being the date the first calf was born. Factors affecting CD and its relationship with production traits were investigated. Early calving was found to be associated with high perf...
