%X Leucocyte counts were made on B. indicus crossbred and B. taurus calves aged 1-6 days. Calves were born in three adjacent paddocks in a tropical environment. Variations in the absolute counts of leucocyte components between animals were large and there were significant breed and age differences in lymphocyte counts. The proportions of lymphocytes increased (P<O'OI) and neutrophils decreased (P<0'05) with age. Total leucocyte, lymphocyte, monocyte and neutrophil counts were significantly higher (P< 0'001) in calves of all breeds in one paddock than in the other two.
