Summary.The study was conducted on the Hereford cows imported from Australia to the Amur region. Data on the age dynamics of live weight and height at hips of cows from birth to the age of 8 years were analyzed. The correlation of indicators with the growth and development of animals after moving them to changed environmental conditions is revealed. The results obtained are compared with similar indicators of Amur cows of the same age. In the descendants of imported Australian cows and Russian Hereford bulls, the indicators of live weight and height at hips were also tracked, comparing the results of data from Hereford peers of the Amur selection. It was found that the live weight of Australian cows aged 6 to 15 months was slightly lower than that of their Amur animals of the same age. However, in the period from 1.5 to 7 year it was significantly higher: at the age of 4 years by 15.7% (P≤0.001), 5 years by 11.5% (P≤0.001) and 6 years by 7.2% (P≤0.01). According to assessment, live weight of Australian cows up to 3 years was at the level of class II, and in the period from 4 to 7 years at the level of class I. Live weight of Amur cows of the same age during the entire period corresponded to class II. Australian cows were taller than Amur cows (P≤0.05, P≤0.01, P≤0.001). Cows obtained from Australian cows from birth to 3 years had live weight at class II level, and from the age of 4 and 5years at class I level. Similar results on live weight, as well as height at hips were obtained in cows obtained from Amur cows. Bulls from Australian cows at the age of 2 years had a live weight of 1.3% higher (479.80±1.91) than that of animals of the Amur selection (473.20±2.06), the height at hips of all bulls in this age was at the level of 125 cm.
