Extract

1. Normal curves of growth for dairy Shorthorn cattle from birth to 5 years of age are presented. These include height at withers, length of body, depth of chest and live weight.

2. The expression of growth by the “Relative growth rate” method is discussed and illustrated. The method is particularly suitable for expressing the growth of calves under 6 months of age.
