Abstract:
Several spaying and ovarian autografting methods were tested in three field
trials with 658 grazing heifers. None of the techniques examined were found to
have a beneficial effect on heifer gains compared to intact controls. Heifers'
initial weight, frame size, and body condition score were associated with cattle
performance; however, their relative impact on gains varied across the three trials.
