Foi validado durante quatro anos um modelo simulado de cria e recria de animais Nelore a pasto, nos Cerrados do Centro—Oeste brasileiro. Novilhas tiveram taxa média de prenhez (TP) de 89% e vacas de 87%. Taxa de desmama foi 87% e de mortalidade de bezerros 6%. Ordem de parto (OP) teve efeito quadrático na TP (P<0,0001). Vacas primiparas (0P1) tiveram TP de 69% e OP5-0P8 90%. Condição corporal (CC) à desmama afetou a TP (P=0,0007). Vacas OP1 com CC 2,0 e 3,5 tiveram TP de 52,7 e 82,5%, respectivamente. Entre OP4-0P8 com CC 3,5 a TP foi 96%. OP teve efeito quadrático no intervalo de partos (IP; P<0,0001). Vacas OP1 tiveram IP de 392,10 ± 3,54 dias e OPs superiores 370 dias. Vacas OP1 desmamaram bezerros com 159,01 ± 2,30 kg e OP4 com 178,07 ± 3,44 kg (P<0,001). As novilhas acasalaram aos 776,04 ± 30,11 dias com peso vivo (PV) de 306,95 ± 32,79 kg. Novilhas prenhas foram 25,58 ± 9,97 dias mais velhas (P=0,0124) e 9,8 ± 7,04 kg mais pesadas (P=0,1683) do que as falhadas. A CC e PV médio geral das vacas foram 3,77 e 429 kg, respectivamente. Novilhos apresentaram PV de 366 kg aos 20/21 meses e condição de terminação em confinamento. A produtividade anual de PV do sistema foi 206,11 kg/ha. Vacas Nelore com CC maior que 3,0 apresentaram altos índices de produtividade. Novilhas Nelore iniciando a vida reprodutiva aos 24/26 meses de idade tiveram alta TP. / A simulated mode! was validate for a breeding and rearing system under Cerrado condition of Central Brazil. Nelore cow's and heifer's pregnancy rate (TP) were 87 and 89%, respectively. The weaning rate mean was 87% and calf mortality 6%. Calving arder (OP) had quadratic response on TP (P<0,0001). First calving cows (OP1) had TP of 69% and cows of OP5 to OP8 of 90%. Body condition (CC) at weaning affected TP (P=0,0007). OP1 cows with CC of 2,0 and 3,5 had TP of 52,7 and 82,5%, respectively. For OP4 to OP8 cows with CC 3,5 TP was 96%. The OP showed quadratic response on calving interval (IP), (P<0,0001). OP1 cows had IP of 392,10 ± 3,54 days and cows with higher OPs 370 days. Calve's weaning weight was 159,01 ± 2,30 kg for OP1 cows and 178,07 ± 3,44 kg for OP4 cows (P<0,001). Heiferis live weight (PV) and age at breeding season were 306,95 ± 32,79 kg and 776,04 ± 30,11 days, respectively. Pregnant heifers were 25, 58 ± 9,97 days older (P=0,0124) and 9,8 ± 7,04 kg heaviest (P=0,1683) than no pregnant ones. The CC and PV cow's means were 3,77 and 429 kg, respectively. Steers 20/21 months old weighed 366 kg and had development to be finished at feed lot. The annual productivity of the system was 206,11 kg of PV per hectare. Nelore cows on tropical pasture condition with CC around 3.5 showed high productivity. Heifers 24/26 months old showed high TP.
