Higher-producing herds excel in all areas of reproductive performance, except conception rate. Of greatest importance is the annual reproductive loss that is affected by the reproductive traits measured. As production per cow increased, the yearly dollar loss per cow declined from a high of $163 to $73 yearly in the group averaging 20,118 lb milk.DairyReproductive traitsHolsteinReproductive performanceConference paper
