WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME? EASY SYSTEM
FERTILITY Heat detection and conception rates are causing more and more problems in pure Holstein herds. Science shows that ProCROSS cows have better fertility.
To make your crossbreeding system as easy as possible, color tagging is a good option. You simply use 3 different color ear tags so that each sire breed has a different ear tag color. Inbreeding is no longer an issue.
PROFITABILITY
CELL COUNT Mastitis is not only genetics, management has an important influence. Even though the scientific results show that ProCROSS cows have a lower cell count than pure Holsteins.
In the summer of 2012, the University of Minnesota presented the final results of a study analysing six herds in California. The production, fertility and calving ease had been known earlier. ProCROSS cows make 30% more money!
JOB SATISFACTION
FEED EFFICIENCY ProCROSS cows are totally different. They seem to be much better at converting forage into milk. This was confirmed in a farm trail in Italy.
PRODUCTIVE LIFE ProCROSS cows have a higher productive life than Holsteins. This means lower replacements needed in your herd, or faster increase of herd size with your own heifers.

Cows that produce milk easier and more efficiently will make you more money. Not only your bankers, but also your relatives will love the ProCROSS cows. Life will be easier!
SATISFIED PROCROSS CUSTOMERS “Our ProCROSS cows have reduced mastitis incidences, placenta retentions, twisted stomachs, feet diseases and stillbirths by 50%.” - La Corte Herd, Italy, Manager Carmelo Monteleone.
“The results have been there ever since we started with ProCROSS; fertility has improved, recovery from illness is quicker, problems with mastitis and hooves are less and components in the milk have gone up.” - Richard Park, Sizergh, UK
“The ProCROSS heifers are easy to manage. They are trouble-free and their tolerance to our extreme weather conditions is good.” - Ben Andersen, Idaho, USA.
“A few minutes after birth, the calves search avidly for the mothers udders to suck, which the Holsteins rarely do. The crossbred calves are much more vigorous. When we enter in the calves’ stable we notice that they are the ones that run and jump more, and above all, they are the ones that have better body condition.” - Alexandre Arriaga, Portugal.
Crossbreeding really gave us a big advantage.” - Kurt Hoekstra, Oakdale, California, USA.
“The results of my ProCROSS cows really surprised me. More milk, better fertility, lower SCC and cows have fewer problems to attend to. ProCROSS improved our quality of life.” - Anton Verschuren, Oploo, The Netherlands.
“Last year we got 90 percent of our spring-mating herd in-calf in 10 weeks thanks to hybrid vigor in our crossbred cows.” - Mike Green, Australia.
