Why Jersey on Holstein? • Reduction in Mature Size • Improved Components • Improved Reproduction • Improved Calving Ability

In a study conducted by Select Sires comparing the published PTA values for the top-20 Select Sires Jersey bulls to the top-20 Viking Red bulls, the Jersey bulls averaged $149 higher CM$ than the Viking Red bulls. In addition, Jerseys have $109 higher value in the production traits coming from their advantage in fat production as well as their advantage in producing milk with higher component percents. The Viking Red bulls are higher for Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR), Livability and have an advantage in Somatic Cell Score. But, these points are outweighed by Jerseys being much higher for overall Productive Life. The study clearly shows that Jersey bulls are a profitable option in a three-breed rotational crossbreeding system. (Figures prior to 2020 base change.)

• Improved Feed Efficiency • Improved Productive Life • A Large Genetic Base

Why Montbeliarde sires on the Holstein-Jersey crossbreds? • Maintain Moderate Mature Stature • Improved Reproduction

• Improved Productive Life • Increased Pounds of Fat and Protein

• Improved Feet and Legs

• Increased Value of Dairy-beef Calves

• Improved Mastitis Resistance

• A Large Genetic Base

• Improved Body Condition

EXPLANATION OF MONTBELIARDE TRAITS Montbeliarde genetic evaluations are June 2020 French evaluations processed by GenEval. All type trait information is on an in-country basis, with summarization equal to their production dates. ISU = SYNTHESIS INDEX presents a composite look at all criteria based on the following breakdown: 5% Longevity, 18% Reproduction, 14.5% Udder Health, 2.3% Fat Percent, 7.1% Protein Percent, 4.2% Fat, 31.4% Protein, 5% Milking and 12.5% Type.

DAUGHTER FERTILITY data is expressed around a mean of 0 with a +/- 1 standard deviation. Higher values are favorable. The CALVING EASE (INDEX) is based on the percentage of easy calvings on first parity cows. Higher values are most favorable. Sires greater than 89 percent are

easy calving, less than 86 percent is not recommended for use on heifers. UDDER AND FEET AND LEG INDEXES, LINEAR TYPE TRAITS are expressed around a mean of 100 and a +/- 12 standard deviation.


A MODERNIZED APPROACH TO CROSSBREEDING BACKGROUND For several decades, dairy owners in the U.S. have attempted to utilize crossbreeding with their Holstein cows hoping to harness the positive affects of heterosis to improve reproductive efficiency, calving ability, fitness and longevity, while also reducing the mature size of the cow to lower maintenance costs. The goal of any managed dairy crossbreeding program should be to: • maximize heterosis by using a three-breed rotation. • utilize breeds that have sufficient genetic options and development to offer a broad selection of elite sires. • build on the strengths of each breed in the rotation and properly select to overcome the breed weaknesses. • produce cows that calve easily, transition into production with no issues, breed back easily and stay productive in the herd for many years, while maintaining a profitable level of milk production and milk solids. • create consistent cows that fit into the operation’s housing and milking systems. Select Sires has supported a 10-year crossbreeding study with the University of Minnesota comparing the performance of three-breed rotational cross cows to purebred Holsteins (ProCROSS). The recently published study shows crossbreeding to be a viable breeding strategy. Profit per day for the Montbeliarde-sired three-way cross cows was $0.51 higher than pure Holsteins or a difference of +13 percent. The Viking Red three-way cross cows had $0.17 higher profit/day than pure Holsteins, which was +4 percent. Averaging these results shows that the three-way cross cows generated 9 percent higher profit/day. The higher profit/day was a result of heterosis and a combination of better fertility, health and longevity in the crossbred cows. Armed with this data, the well-documented profitable performance of Jerseys, and years of experience, Select Sires recommends a modernized approach to crossbreeding—SelectCROSS.

HOLSTEIN Holsteins are world-renown for milk production and udder conformation.

MONTBELIARDE The Montbeliarde breed excels in reproductive efficiency and Productive Life. They possess excellent body condition, feet and legs and have a strong will to milk.

JERSEY The Jersey breed excels in calving ability, reproductive efficiency, milk solids and Productive Life.

GETTING STARTED Based on years of experience, the SelectCROSS approach focuses on a structured three-breed rotation with elite genetics from major breeds to maximize heterosis. Holstein, Jersey and Montbeliarde are three of the largest breeds in the world for genetic development. • Use elite sires with pure descent from each parent breed for more predictable outcomes and consistency. This is currently a challenge for some active Jerseys and many Viking Red sires. • Protect for the weaknesses and build on the strengths of each breed in the rotation. • Start the rotation with high genetic merit Jersey sires with greater than +8 Jersey Udder Index™ (JUI™) to build the proper udder for a high-producing Holstein x Jersey cross cow. • Breed this cross to Montbeliarde sires with a Calving Ease score greater than 89 and an Udder score greater than 110. Your Select Sires representative is available to help you develop a crossbreeding program that meets the goals as outlined above. Greater profits through crossbreeding are just a phone call away.

JERSEY x HOLSTEIN The cross starts by using elite Jersey sires on purebred Holstein cows.
