Abstract
Normal growth curves based on data collected over a period of twenty-five years from the University of California purebred Hereford herd are presented. Body measurement data on males and females are summarized and discussed in relation to differential growth and development. Measurements and indices derived therefrom are considered in relation to subjection evaluation by grading. Some general problems in beef type selection are discussed.
