Why Jersey on Holstein? • Reduction in Mature Size

• Improved Components

• Improved Reproduction

• Improved Calving Ability

• Improved Feed Efficiency

• Improved Productive Life

• A Large Genetic Base

Jersey x Holstein crosses at New Heights Dairy.

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 profi table option in a three-breed rotational crossbreeding system. (Figures prior to 2020 base change.)

ISU = SYNTHESIS INDEX ISU 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 Fertility data on sires’ daughters is expressed around a mean of 0 with a +/- 1 standard deviation. Higher values are favorable.

EXPLANATION OF MONTBELIARDE TRAITS

CALVING EASE (INDEX) The Calving 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

Linear type traits are expressed around a mean of 100 and a +/- 12 standard deviation.

The SelectCROSS approach starts by using elite Jersey sires on purebred Holstein cows. The next step is to use elite Montbeliarde sires on the Jersey x Holstein cross offspring. Pictured are three-way SelectCROSS cows at New Heights Dairy (Sired by 217MO01016 I TEMPLE JB).

“Use of the best genetics available from each breed in the crossbreeding rotation is critical to success.”

Montbeliarde genetic evaluations are April 2020 French evaluations processed by GenEval. All type trait information is on an in-country basis, with summarization equal to their production dates.

“A good Holstein base, made by selecting high-quality Holstein genetics, is critical for crossbreeding success. When choosing Holstein sires, I choose the very best. You also have to use the best genetics available from each breed in the crossbreeding rotation. My favorite cross is the Holstein x Jersey x Montbeliarde three-way. This cross combines the high production of Holsteins, the high components and reproduction advantages of the Jersey breed and the reproduction of Montbeliardes. Purebred Montbeliardes can’t compete on their own from a production standpoint, but when you put the three together you get a well-rounded animal. We measure dollars of product produced per day, and the crossbreds consistently have the advantage.”

Brent Czech, New Heights Dairy, MN

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

• Improved Reproduction

• Improved Body Condition

• Improved Feet and Legs

• Improved Mastitis Resistance

• Improved Productive Life

• Increased Pounds of Fat and Protein

• Increased Value of Dairy-beef Calves

• A Large Genetic Base

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 effi ciency, calving ability, fi tness 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 suffi cient 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 profi table level of milk production and milk solids.• create consistent cows that fi t 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. Profi t 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 profi t/day than pure Holsteins, which was +4 percent. Averaging these results shows that the three-way cross cows generated 9 percent higher profi t/day. The higher profi t/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 profi table performance of Jerseys, and years of experience, Select Sires recommends a modernized approach to crossbreeding—SelectCROSS.

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 purebred (no generation count) 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 profi ts through crossbreeding are just a phone call away.

The Jersey breed excels in calving ability, reproductive effi ciency, milk solids and Productive Life.

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

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