[QUOTE="borderterribles, post: 7558996, member: 691"] I used to run about 30% Shorthorns with my Jerseys, until the milk buyer decided to insist that we went all Jersey, or left. On a mainly grazed system, I'd say that i had my best years milking when sending approximately half and half the milk from each breed. Volume from the Shorthorns and quality from the Jerseys. I couldn't get on with the pure Shorthorns though, they weren't good enough on udder conformation, temperament or yield for me. I think around the three quarter Shorthorn, one quarter Holstein was best. As far as the NDS are concerned, my Jerseys gave way more milk. As far as longevity is concerned, they stand need to last a long time when they're doing 3500kg in 305 days! [/QUOTE]
