These data include the date of each birth, the sex of the calf born, the process of the birth and if it was a cow or heifer birth. A total of 566 births were recorded in period during data recording. There were 597 calves born overall. In 55 % of the births, heifers were born and 45 % of the births were bulls. In 89 % of cases there were easy births, 7 % were more difficult births and 4 % were very complicated births. In general, cows gave birth more easily than heifers.
