[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1246980, member: 16303"] The Milking Fleckvieh DO milk. With the breeds that we represent, the Fleckvieh and Montbeliarde can compete with their Holstein herdmates when it comes to production. The Fleckvieh, is the second largest breed in numbers only behind the Holstein in the world. Besides being able to produce milk quite well, they seem to be able to so so on a little less feed, have better hybrid vigor, One of the greatest benefits is the better health from these crosses. The experience gathered over several years from operations with rotational or upgrading crossbreeding programs have resulted in advantages due in particular to: - Improved Fertility - Higher Fat and Protein percents in the milk - Reduced Mastitis and Somatic Cell Counts - More hardiness and stronger cows are easy keepers - Increase longevity in the offspring - Posses good udder quality - Excellent milking persistence during lactation - Higher percent ratios of components for cheese production - Lower veterinary costs that other breeds - Improved fattening traits of calves - Cull cows have higher carcass values than other breeds - Perfect cross with Holstein in a 3-way composite [/QUOTE]
