Summary
Weaning weight of calf predicts cow efficiency more accurately than the ratio of weaning weight to metabolic cow weight and the ratio of weaning weight to cow weight. A prediction equation was developed to combine calf weight with cow weight to increase accuracy of prediction from 3 to 11% above that achieved by weaning weight alone or the ratios.
