South Dakota Test Shows Higher Dairy Yields Across Generations
At the South Dakota experiment station, heifers with beef breeding produced 4006 pounds of milk and 163 pounds of fat. Daughters from purebred Holstein bulls yielded 7182 pounds of milk and 264 pounds of fat, up 79 percent in milk and 60 percent in fat. Offspring from half-breed heifers bred to Holstein bulls produced 315 pounds of milk and 303 pounds of fat, rising 107 percent in milk and 88 percent in fat over the first dams. The study notes the greatest increase occurred in the first generation, possibly due to size or near-crossbreeding effects.
