1 John B. Cole and Daniel J. Null Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory Agricultural Research Service, USDA Beltsville, MD 20705-2350 john.cole@ars.usda.gov Genetic Evaluation of Age at First Calving

2 National Association of Animal Breeders, April 20, 2010 (2) Cole and Null Data First calving from January 1, 1997 to present Calving ages between 540 and 1105 days The cows sire had to be at least 5 years old 8,193,513 first calvings

3 National Association of Animal Breeders, April 20, 2010 (3) Cole and Null Model y = hys + a + e y = age at first calving hys = fixed effect of herd-year-season of birth a = random additive genetic effect e = random residual error
