The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between cow weight and calf birth weight, as well as calf birth weight and calf weaning weight of Bali cattle. This study was carried out from October to November 2018 in Belu regency, East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. The samples used in this study were Bali cattle which consisted of Bali cows, calves and weaned calves. Data obtained were analyzed using correlation analysis. The results showed that the correlations between cow weight and calf birth weight, as well as calf birth weight and calf weaning weight of Bali cattle raised in the highland were higher than those raised in the lowland. In conclusion, cow weight had a strong positive correlation with calf body weight with correlation values of 0.75 (highland) and 0.35 (lowland). A strong positive correlation (0.94 for highland; 0.75 for lowland) between calf birth weight and calf weaning weight was also observed.
