ABSTRACT. Records from the Hereford Associations of the United States (USA), Canada, and Uruguay were used to estimate genetic and phenotypic variances and covariances for weaning weight. Estimation was done using a complete animal model, relatively large data sets, and the same methodology for the three countries in order to determine whether genetic parameters for weaning weight were homogeneous across environments. Data were composed of 2,322,722, 487,661, and 102,986 edited weaning weight records for USA, Canada, and Uruguay, respectively.
