Our main reason for establishing a Jersey x Holstein (J × H) crossbreed for our Lobatse Dairy is to establish an offspring calf with superior qualities to their parents like production, fertility and longevity. Crossbreeding is the most profitable breeding strategy and is about herd improvement not breed improvement.
We are fully adopting the Alliance Grazing Dairy model.

breeds better, has ease of calving,
less stillbirths and has less days to first service.
