Re: My Crossbred Cow Thread....
Here is a milking daughter of 1092, a first lactation cow. She is sired by Sperringe, a Swedish Red bull. Unfortunately, Sperringe is one of the poorest Swedish Red bulls for daughter fertility and that was expressed in this 1st lactation cow and even as a heifer. Her production has been a tick above her mother so far compared to her mother's first lactation. We did finally get her pregnant to Q Impuls (same sire as her 1 day old half sister).
We also had two more older daughters. A Holstein X Brown Swiss X Jersey F2 that died from hardware (we're guessing) shortly after having her first calf (that also was a victim of a very hard winter for our calves).
The other daughter sired by Magna (3/4 Holstein 1/4 Brown Swiss) that gave me two lactations of slightly lower production than her mother (heterosis lost?) but good fertility. Unfortunately after having her third calf she suddenly died from internal bleeding I'm guessing. Saw she had a heifer and was licking it over and found her dead shortly after. Her last calf her first daughter... a 37.5% Holstein 12.5% Brown Swiss 50% Swedish Red (O Brolin).
Interesting family, and I was absolutely delighted that the matriarch delivered me a daughter the other night from Q Impuls and looks poised to hit 200,000 lbs lifetime this lactation.
Now the question is, what do I breed her to now?
