Genetic parameters of heifer fertility measures were estimated. Data were records of 42 283
first-parity Black-and-White cows. The percentage of cows that did not repeat heat was 73 at the
56th day and 69 at the 72nd day after first insemination. Heritabilities of non-return rates to the 56th
day and 72nd day were 0.012 and 0.010, respectively. Heritabilities of age at first insemination,
age at conception and age at calving were 0.324, 0.312 and 0.296, respectively. Phenotypic
correlations ranged from 0.78 between age at first service and age at conception to 0.98 between
age at conception and age at calving. The genetic correlations were high (0.96 and higher). Genetic
correlations between non-return rates and the remaining traits ranged from -0.11 to 0.10.
