Genetic and environmental influences on beef cattle production in Zambia. 2. Live weights for age of purebred and reciprocally crossbred progeny
Live weights from birth to 3.5 years are reported for beef cattle reared under ranching conditions in Zambia. The 809 cattle were purebred Africanders, Angonis, Barotses and Improved Borans and the reciprocal crossbreds of the latter three breeds born in 2 years. All animals born in the 1st year and...
