Herd life, lifetime production, and profitability of Viking Red-sired and Montbeliarde-sired crossbred cows compared with their Holstein herdmates

A. R. Hazel et al.

Summary: The study compared the performance, longevity, and profitability of a 3-breed rotational crossbreeding system involving Viking Red, Montbeliarde, and Holstein breeds with pure Holstein herdmates in high-performance commercial herds in Minnesota. Results showed that the 3-breed crossbreds had longer herd life and higher profitability compared to their Holstein herdmates.

Predictive equations for early-life indicators of future body weight in Holstein dairy heifers

Tabitha S. Hurst et al.

Summary: Raising replacement heifers from birth to first calving requires a 2-year investment, and selecting the most productive heifers early in life can reduce input costs. Various factors such as birth weight, cumulative 60-day milk consumption, and body size composite score significantly impact predicting heifer body weight at 400 days of age. Certain measurements in the early life of dairy calves continue to influence heifer growth up to 400 days of age.
