Investigation of production and reproduction characteristics two breeds of cows, Simmental and Holstein Friesian in bad conditions of feeding and rearing was done and their results were compared. In the milk production Holstein Friesian breed had average production: 4795 kg in the first 5334 kg in the second 5417 kg in the third standard lactation. Simmental breed had average production in the first 4084 kg in the second 4440 kg and in the third 4483 kg milk. In the milk production Holstein Friesian breed, like we expected, had better results than Simmental. In the reproductive characteristics, Simmental was dominant when we compare with Holstein Friesian. These results are same like the other investigations for these two breeds of cows until now, because Simmental is two purpose breed and Holstein Friesian is breed for milk production. From this result, we can see that in very bad conditions of feeding and rearing we have genetic potential and the possibility of more efficient utilization and to get better production of milk and the good reproductive parameters.
