- Take advantage of the superior traits of various breeds
For example, Jerseys excel in solids production and Norwegian Reds?have exceptional fertility and health. Using these breed advantages makes?substantial, sustainable improvements?in your herd. This is called “complementarity” or using breeds that will best deliver the herd you need.
- Gain heterosis or hybrid vigor which is the?“free benefit” of crossbreeding?that enhances performance
Improved fertility, health, and longevity contribute to increased profitability by reducing involuntary culling and creating an easier-to-manage herd.
- Change your herd faster
