摘要: Straightbred and crossbred heifers (165) cows (241) that were nonpregnant after exposure to fertile bulls for two consecutive breeding periods of 45 60 d (repeat breeders) contemporary (102) had produced a calf in the previous calving season (controls) placed with observed mating. Repeat-breeder control females slaughtered at 2 51 postmating. Data accumulated over 4 yr. From records, repeat breeders more (P<.05) difficulty than controls.
