Brown-Swiss and Holstein-Friesian calves weaned at 45 days age were separated into 2 groups (32-45 and 46-61 kg) based on their weights on 45 days age (India). The effect of the weight groups at 4 months old calves were significant, but, the average weights gain in the periods between birth and 6 months and feed efficiency were insignificant.
