In this second article, the character adjusted to age  205 days, was the evaluated in a registered Brahman herd located at La Cumaca Alí Benavides Zapata Experimental Station, in State of Yaracuy, Venezuela. A total of 4715 weights measured at 205 days were analized using  mixed models techniques (including an Animal Model). The following variables were studied: sex, year and month of birth, age of dam, and sire and dam effects. The results of the present investigation show overall average weight of 158.6 ± 0.76  kg. All effects were significant (p<0.01), yielding an annual phenotipic trend of 100 g, a direct genetic trend of  236 g, and a maternal trend one of 178g, correspondingly. The direct and maternal heritability indexes were 0.11 and 0.24, respectively. Cows produced heavier calves from first to fourth parturition, declining from there
