The number of inseminations was significantly related to age. Regression coefficients moved from 0.02+ to 0.005++ (head per month). The average duration of service-period for the 1st up to 5th lactation was the lowest in the earliest, and the highest in the latest put of animals. The average age of cows according to the age of the 1st putting at culling was 1769.9 days (4.8 years), 1663.7 days (4.5 years), 1674.3 days (4.5 years), 1578.3 days (4.3 years), 1687 days (4.6 years), resp. the length of utility age was 1015, 878.4, 737.4, 745.0 days, resp..
