An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that postpartum anoestrus in beef cows is prolonged in cows in low body condition (BC) because they have a reduced LH pulse frequency compared with cows in high BC. Thirty-six multiparous Blue-Grey (White Shorthorn x Galloway) cows were fed so that they calved in either low (L) (BC score 2.07; SE 0.05; n = 24) or high (H) (BC score 2.81; SE 0.08; n = 12) body condition.
