Abstract: McClure (1961, 1965 a, b), McTaggart (1961), King (1968) and McClure and McDowell (1969) have suggested that there is correlation between dairy cattle fertility and weight change in the period before mating. Gardner (1969) did not support this suggestion. An analysis of records from a research farm was undertaken to test the suggestion.
