Abstract. Increasing the productivity of suckling calves is an ongoing problem in beef cattle production. Their high productivity is a reliable criterion for the exterior strength and adaptability to rearing conditions. The aim of the research was to evaluate weight and linear growth of bulls and steers obtained from dams of different body types during the suckling period of rearing. The experimental animals were grouped according to the type of maternal exterior. Bulls from I and II groups came from dams of high-growth type of exterior, III and IV - animals-analogs from compact cows. Bulls from II and IV groups were castrated at the age of 5 months. Under the same conditions of housing and feeding, weight and linear growth indices of bulls and steers of different body types were unequal. The advantage on the studied breeding traits was in favor of animals with high growth body type. The differences in live weight were 10.3-11.7 kg (4.0-4.7%; P≥0.05), withers height, hip height, oblique body length and chest girth were 0.7-4.0 cm (0.6-3.5%; P≥0.05). The predominant physiological and economic precociousness of progeny from cows of compact body type can apparently be explained by the greater development of latitudinal measurements. Thus, the external characteristics of the Hereford breed are established in the early stages of ontogenesis. This should be taken into account when organizing directional breeding of young animals of different body types and rational use of available resources.
