Economic implications of factors affecting weaning weight production in a herd of charolais cattle (Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The analysis of production and economic effects of calving difficulty, calf death loss, weaning weight and calving interval was based on the performance data of a herd of Charolais cattle in East Central Texas. The regression ...
