Abstract. A comparative evaluation of the growth and development of bulls of the basic variant with the type being created (F1) of Kalmyk cattle breed was carried out. Differences in growth and development characteristic of experimental animals have been noted under the same feeding and housing conditions. The average weight of newborn crossbred bulls (F1) was estimated at 24.1 kg, while the same indicator for animals in the basic variant was 22.3 kg, which is 8.1 % lower than that of the crosses. During all stages of growth, the average live weight of representatives of the created type exceeded the weight of animals of the basic variant. For example, the difference was 25.6 kg (6.88%) at 15 months of age. During the research period, the animals of the created type showed higher average daily growth rates compared to the animals of the basic variant (by 172 g, which is an increase of 25.2%). This indicates a more intensive rate of their physiological development and emphasizes a high potential for growth and development.   The animals of the type being created had more pronounced meat forms. At 15 months of age, steers of the basic variant had a 0.47 cm (0.41%) superiority in withers height and 1.66 cm (1.41%) superiority in hip height compared to their peers. Young cattle of the created meat type was characterized by a longer torso and well-developed half girth of the hindquarters. Thus, the crossbred bulls exceeded their purebred counterparts   in   the  corresponding  indicators  by  4.6  cm  (3.56%)  and  7.5 cm (7.33%) at the age of 15 months. These differences indicate a high potential of meat productivity of the created type.
