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.

“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

after that. My favorite cross right now 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

The SelectCROSS approach starts by using elite Jersey sires on purebred Holstein cows. Pictured above are 2-way crosses at New Heights Dairy. The next step is to use elite Montbeliarde sires on the Jersey x Holstein cross offspring. Pictured below are three-way-crosses at New Heights.

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

Montbeliarde genetic evaluations are December 2017, French evaluations processed by INRA (French Agronomic Research Institute). All type trait information is on an in-country basis, with summarization equal to their production dates.

BACKGROUNDFor 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 extensive crossbreeding research. Armed with this data and years of experience, we recommend a modernized approach to crossbreeding—SelectCROSS™.

GETTING STARTEDBased 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 +20 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.
