A reliable resource for breed yields?

[LoveMoo11]

I love Holsteins, but I have been looking into different, more rare breeds because I am interested in pasture dairying and also preserving "forgotten" breeds, some of the ones I have looked at are Canadienne and Dutch Belted. However, most of the sites I have found have been breed association-type sites, and say things like "some individuals produce 20,000lbs a year". Does anyone know of a reliable resource where I could find unbiased info on these breeds, particularly milk yields? I've looked at the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy site but didn't really find anything. Thanks.

These articles are on crossbreeding, and they don't have all the breeds listed, but they might help you some. The figures should be fairly recent.
