Scrotal circumference measurements on 870 Angus, 759 Polled Hereford, and 309 Simmental bulls ranging in age from 484 to 704 days were analyzed to develop an appropriate method of adjustment of scrotal circumference for differences associated with age of the bull. Values were separated by breed, year, and season and then each subset was subjected to statistical analysis. Adjustment factors to remove differences due to age were developed for bulls of the three breeds studied.
