The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the chosen effects of control of performance on the growth of calves in the most common meat breeds of the South Bohemian region (Aberdeen Angus, Charolais, Limousine, Beef Simmental) involved in the monitoring of performance of beef cattle during the period 2009 - 2014. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate what influences affect the weight of beef calves during their rearing. When comparing the average weight of calves according to breed, the highest weight at birth were (42.37 kg), at 120 days (191.32 kg), at 210 days (307.65 kg) and at 365 days (503.53 kg) with the Charolais breed. When examining the influence of year of calving at the birth weight at 120, 210, and 365 days, it was found that calves of Limousine breed clearly reached the highest weight in 2012 in all age categories. In determining the effect of month of calving for the birth weight at 120 and 210 days of age, the best months are December to March for Aberdeen Angus and April was the best month for calving for Beef Simmental. The period of calving is going from winter until spring months. Aberdeen Angus cows up to the fifth calving make up 73.29 % of the herd. When examining the influence of calving order to calves weighing at 120, 210 and 365 days of age, the worst of all breeds are calves from the first calving. At 120 and 210 days of age, Aberdeen Angus calves were at the highest weight with the 6th calving, Limousine breed were at the highest weight of calves with the 9th calving. At 365 days of age, Aberdeen Angus calves had the highest weight with the third calving. Rearing management breed is clearly the best with breeders who participate in national exhibitions and produce bulls and heifers. Relative breeding values of the Fathers for Direct effect - growth (Peru) and relative breeding values for maternal maternal effect - growth (Meru), have verifiable affect on the weight of calves
