Outbreeding and Inbreeding Tested in Jersey Cattle
Beltsville Maryland reports dairy researchers testing eight Jersey families to compare outbreeding and inbreeding. A cow named Sophie Oxford St Mawes Owlet, representing four families, produced 17 147 pounds milk and 955 pounds butterfat in a year. Outbred daughters averaged 675 pounds butterfat versus 672 for line bred, suggesting sire quality influences offspring regardless of family.
