 Livestock Improvement New Zealand Genetics : Philosophy : Strengths :
In New Zealand the national average is 50% of cows calving to first service and a calving interval of 368 days!.
With the average New Zealand dairy farmer needing to calve over 250 cows in an eight week period, it is obviously essential that calving difficulties are minimised.
This aggressive style is exhibited by New Zealand bred cows in any feed environment they find themselves in, and ensures they are always contributing to their maximum potential in the milking shed.

 Beef New Zealand (BeefNZ)
From this New Zealand study, a larger heterosis response was achieved for reproduction traits (calves weaned per cow joined) than for growth traits (calf weaning weight).
When bulls are used to breed a specialist maternal line and these commercial cows are mated to a terminal sire, the bulls are responsible for half of the genes for cow fertility but only quarter of the genes for growth of progeny of those cows.
New Zealand research has found that the heritability of days to calving was low, averaging 0.11 suggesting that slow selection response can be expected when culling females based purely on days to calving EBV.
