Cross Breeding

For various reasons, some farmers are seeking to cross their cows with other breeds. Whether this is to gain hybrid vigour to improve fertility, longevity and male calf quality, a cross with British Friesian should please.

The unique situation, of the divergence of bloodlines within the open herd book of Holstein UK, and the ability to make use of these genes without losing pedigree status, provides the Holstein Breeder with an Invisible Cross.
