Abstract

Colorado State University, s Fort Collins 80521 Summary By utilizing estrogen and progesterone, it appeared possible to mimic the changes occurring in blood hormone levels near puberty. This suggested the possibility of induction of puberty in beef heifers. Four trials were conducted to test this hypothesis and a fifth to explore the effect of treatment with steroids in induction of estrus in suckling anestrous cows.
