Abstract
Direct reproductive traits as they are currently measured tend to be low in heritability, making the beef female’s environment key to reproductive success. Large cow size and high milk production translate into increased energy and protein requirements for the cow, even when not lactating. The increased nutrient requirements can significantly limit the carrying capacity of any farm or ranch. A cow’s nutrient requirements must match feed resources or reproduction will be compromised.
