Cover Story: Production of beef-cross-dairy calves from the dairy herd increases the value of non-replacement calves. Use of beef-breed sires may alter birth weight, gestation length and pre-weaning growth rate of calves, which in turn will influence the profitability of the dairy farm. This case study compared the progeny of beef-breed sires which were typical of those used over New Zealand dairy herds. Results were within suitable ranges, with progeny average birth weight ranging 33.3 to 41.4 kg, and gestation length ranging 276.1 to 288.6 days. Therefore, bulls with similar genetic merit would be suitable for mating mixed-aged dairy cows in New Zealand. View this paper
