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 Cheese Merit Dollars 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.)

Montbeliarde genetic evaluations are June 2022 French evaluations processed by GenEval. All type trait information is on an in-country basis, with summarization equal to their production dates.
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.
• 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.
Holsteins are world-renown for milk production and udder HOLSTEINconformation.
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.
JERSEY MONTBELIARDE
JERSEY x HOLSTEIN
The cross starts by using elite Jersey sires on Holsteinpurebredcows.
The next step is to use elite Montbeliarde sires on the Jersey x Holstein cross offspring.
• Breed this cross to Montbeliarde sires with a Calving Ease score greater than 89 and an Udder score greater than 110.
Telephone: (614) 873-4683 www.selectsires.com
• 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.
• create consistent cows that fit into the operation’s housing and milking systems. Select Sires 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 published study shows crossbreeding to be a viable breeding strategy. Profit per day for the Montbeliarde-sired threeway 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 greater 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
GETTING STARTED
The goal of any managed dairy crossbreeding program should be to:
• maximize heterosis by using a three-breed rotation.
JEHO x MONTBELIARDE JEHOMO x HOLSTEIN 02
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.
A MODERNIZED APPROACH TO CROSSBREEDING
The Jersey breed excels in calving ability, reproductive efficiency, milk solids and Productive Life.
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.
• 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.

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.
• Protect for the weaknesses and build on the strengths of each breed in the rotation.
