[QUOTE="regolith, post: 626251, member: 9267"] The main aim in fact is hybrid vigour, followed by easy calving. Working with this herd is the first time I've really worked with Jersey cows - I wanted crossbreeds, a lot of what was available was Jersey and I reckon you couldn't get a better milk cow than the best of them. But my aim is to breed them up to a crossbred then outcross the next generation. Samen are the guys to be talking to if I want to get away from NZ genetics - and I strongly suspect that in a few years I will. There are other companies importing semen, but very low profile and some of the less-used breeds LIC sells come through an arrangement with Samen - I can e-mail LIC for information about their three Brown Swiss bulls, or contact Samen about those three and three or four others. Trying to understand converted proofs is a pain, but I've put a bit of time into understanding the NZ evaluation system and find that annoyingly inconsistent anyway. [/QUOTE]
