At birth all calves appear ed healthy, he said, although the one born 35 days early died within a few days. "We don't know what com plications caused its death," he said. "It was lively at birth, although it weighed less than 50 pounds," O'Mary said the remaining animals gained rapidly, with the three oldest averaging slightly more than 53 lbs. per calf during their first 35 days. The highest 35-day gain was 62 pounds and the lowest 46 pounds, he said.

The process will allow heif ers to have smaller calves or reduce the size of calves from "big calf breeds that often cause calving difficul ties even in mature cows, he said. By allowing them to have smaller calves, heif ers could be bred at earlier ages, thus reducing the cost of maintaining a heifer until she has her first calf, he said. O'Mary said it also would speed up the beef production cycle by shortening the ges tation period and allowing the cow extra time to get back into condition for re-breeding.
