Abstract
Highly significant differences between progeny groups have been found in the Israeli-Frisian breed of cattle. The standard deviations between groups in the proportion of males was estimated to be 1.5%. Significant correlations between sire and son and between half-sibs in the sex ratio of their progeny suggest that the differences may have a genetic basis.Keywords
