Summary: To provide information that can contribute to the genetic evaluation and selection of Senepol cattle, genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits. Birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and post-yearling weight (PW) were evaluated using a three-trait animal model. Fixed effects of contemporary group and age of dam as a covariate (linear and quadratic ? except for PW) were adopted.
