The aim of this study was to estimate heritability for five temperament and two reproductive
traits in Nellore cattle and to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlations among them …

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic associations between temperament and
performance traits. Temperament was evaluated in yearling male and female Nellore cattle …

Simple Summary Enhancing maternal performance in a beef cattle enterprise can increase
overall profitability. Knowledge of the degree of genetic variation in relevant traits is required …
