The overall mean age and weight at first estrus, age and weight at first service, number of services per conception, age at first calving, gestation length, milk yield and lactation length were computed. Weight at first estrus and first service were significantly affected by sire breed and sire breed by dam breed interactions. The weight and age at first estrus affected each other significantly.
