This paper deals with the estimation of the heritability of weight at the age of 18 months of heifers of the Canchim breed, which is a 5/3 Charolais x 3/8 Zebu crossbred. It evaluates also the bulls and cows, through the heritage transmitted to their offspring. The study was carried out with the 18-month weights of 252 heifers, sons and daughters of 15 sires and 94 cows, adjusted for sex, and for season and order of delivery. The adjustment was carried out with the aid of the mathematical model with s i (i = 1,2) referring to sex, e j (j = 1, 2, 3, 4) to season, and Pk (k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) to parturition. With the adjusted weights y ijkr obtained by the formula an analysis of variance was carried out, following the incomplete randomised model, with sires as blocks and cows as treatments using the theory developed by PIMENTEL GOMES (1967, 1968, 1970), with the following results. With the variance components E, Dand S thus obtained the estimates hI; 1 and hI; 2 of the coefficients of heritability were calculated, by formulas having been obtained the following results: hI; 1 = 0.6325 ± 0.28, hI; 2 = 0.6292 ± 0.28. This study permitted also the evaluation of the bulls and cows of the herd.
