Primiparous (n = 74) and primiparous and multiparous (n = 104) cows grazing native grasslands were used in experiment 1 and 2; respectively. The experimental design was in plots divided into complete random blocks with two replications.  aBeef Cow Efficiency  aCattle Farming  aEarly Conception  aPregnancy Rate  aWeaning Weight1 aDE BARBIERI, I.1 aMORALES OLMOS, V.1 aMONTOSSI, F.1 aVIÑOLES, C.  tAnimal Bioscience, 2022.
