For the improvement of Japanese Shorthorn (JS) calves in growth on pasture, Santa Gertrudis (SG)×JS F1 calves were produced by artificial insemination (AI) of SG semen into JS cows. The backcrosses (F1×JS and JS×F1) were produced both by mating an F1 sire with JS dams, and by AI with JS semen to F1 cows. All the calves were born from February to April, then kept on pasture with their dams from May to October. Birthweight, gestation length and average daily gain in the grassland were compared among F1, F1×JS, JS×F1 and straightbred JS. F1 calves showed significantly higher birthweights than purebred JS calves. The average daily gain in the grassland was also greater, although not significant, for F1 than for JS. JS×F1 calves exhibited comparable growth to F1 calves on pasture, whereas, F1×JS calves grew slower than JS calves. These results indicate that the utilization of SG×JS F1 calves is one of the effective ways to improve the growthof calves on pasture, and that, in the utilization of the backcrosses, keeping JS×F1 calves with F1 dams is prefera-ble to-keeping F1×JS calves with JS dams.
