Sire x herd interactions were studied in 30,789 records of birth (BW) and weaning weight (WW) and weight gain from weaning to 18 months of age (G345) of Nellore cattle born from 1984 to 1994 in twelve farms located in three states of central and southeastern Brazil, with a total of 48.495 animals in pedigree.
