[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 633942, member: 6897"] When we had a dairy we initially bred strictly for milk production. Latter we tried to maintain that production while improving the udder, then started working on feet. Never bred nor fed for protein, somatic cell counts or anything else. Too many outside factors to effect these besides genetics. My experience has been that of the three major components in milk (volume, butterfat and protein) you can usually obtain 2 out of the 3 but very very seldom get all three and milk protein is the hardest and really least significant thing to worry about. Only tried to maintain the standard and get all the production I could with good butterfat. [/QUOTE]
