peer agreement (net): +2reproductive cow, dam Explanation: A cow destined to reproduction is called a "matriz" in Portuguese. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2004-06-18 21:32:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- venda de matrizes = ...selling cows, cows for sale, and so on -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 50 mins (2004-06-18 21:35:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another option: \"breeding cows\" (used as a noun, obviously) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2004-06-18 21:41:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"A combination of relatively small ***dams*** bred to large sires in a terminal system fully exploits breed complementarity. For example, crosses between beef and dairy breeds can be used to produce cows that, when fed suitably, have superior milking and reproductive ability. Mating these animals to terminal sires with large mature size and growth rates allows slaughter offspring to be produced with the benefits of growth rate and leanness to attain heavy carcass weights while maintaining smaller, highly productive ***breeding cows***.\" http://www.beef.org.nz/research/breeding/friesians.pdf Reference: http://www.interconect.com.br/bufalo/xfemeasimportadas.html |
